This weekly Vision/Information/Prayer (V.I.P.) thought is designed to inspire, inform and focus Celebration Serve Teams around why we do what we do.

Sunday, July 11 & Wednesday, July 14

Vision:

Colossians 3:23-24 NLT, “Work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.  Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and the Master you are serving is Christ.”

Our motivation matters!  Do we serve out of obligation?  If so, we’ll do only as much as we have to just to fulfill a duty.  Or do we serve as unto the Lord?  When we work with Him in mind – without selfishness or disguise – we please both God and man. God wants us to see that (ultimately) we work for Him. Our work is sanctified when it is done unto God.  That’s the motive God rewards!

Information:
Motion Conference: this Wednesday, July 14, is the last day to register.
High School Students & Young Adults are taking a road trip to Birmingham, Alabama!  Thursday, Jul 29 – Sun, Aug 1, $250.

Encounter: Mark your calendars, July 23 & 24. Encounter is a powerful time of teaching and ministry – come expecting God to do something, be fully refreshed while you’re there, and leave empowered to do life at a whole ‘nother level!

Prayer:
