Vineyard Church of Knox County
Seizing our Divine Moment
God gives us moments in time that are infused with potential--kingdom potential, eternal potential, God-sized potential--and these moments are there for the seizing. We began a new series on Sunday, July 2, called "Seizing our Divine Moment," which I believe God will use to prepare us to seize the opportunity we have as a church with the opening of the new building in the fall (are you seizing the opportunity to come participate in Project: Renovation?). You see, with the opening of the new building God has placed before us a Divine opportunity to see His Kingdom come and His will be done in Knox County and around the world.
When we interactively walk with God throughout each our days, each day has moments that potentially could change history...if we seize them. We never know when a conversation with a friend or co-worker will be the link in a chain that leads them to a life-changing relationship with Jesus. We never know when our selfless act of service to another person will move us closer to God’s call on our lives. Each of us can point to moments in our lives that turned out to be historical moments, moments that changed our lives. We just never know when God will open doors and change us and the world around us, so it’s vital that we become people who seize these Divine Moments.
We as a church are walking with God as best we can, and we believe that He has brought us to this place of opening this building...at this place on the globe...at this time in history...for the purpose of changing the world one person at a time. I believe that part of the blessings of the Kingdom come when we step up to the plate and swing at the pitch thrown at us, that is, we seize the opportunities God gives us. And it’s in the seizing that we see God work in power.
So, let’s seize this opportunity together, the opportunity that only a mission base provides for us to reach the community and the world--let’s choose together to step up to the plate and take a swing. We have the opportunity to change the world by God’s grace, so let’s go for it. This series will help us to seize that opportunity together by challenging each of us to become people who seize the Divine moments in our lives. We end the series on our birthday, September 17. Will we be in the building then? You can help by seizing the opportunity to come participate in Project: Renovation.
Peace,
Chris
