We are facing the impossible:
How can we be a church that reaches thousands of people with the Gospel in a small town like Randleman? How can we create amazing worship environments that inspire with so little resources? How can we sustain the vision of church on the giving of students and young families? How can we change a cultured shaped by hundreds of years of history? How can a church be well lead by a bunch of messed up sinners?
How?
How did Moses convince the leader of the known world to let his slave work force go free after 450 years? How did Joshua collapse a wall by walking around and shouting at it? How did a teenager named David kill the baddest man on the planet with a sling shot? How did three teenage boys refuse to bow and then survive a blazing fire? How did Noah build a boat in the middle of drought that would save humanity? How did Elijah receive food from a bird to stay alive? How did an engaged teenage girl give birth to the Savior of the world? How did Peter go from traitor to church leader? How did a carpenter’s son from Nazareth walk away from the grave? Need I continue?
The challenges we face as church no longer discourage me, they excite me. The are simply opportunities for God demonstrate his power. They are the reason why He alone deserves all the credit and glory! The impossible has always be the launching point for God’s miracles. He has always forced his people to do something in faith that seemed foolish. If there aren’t questions there is no need for provision.
Today I’m more excited about what God has in store than ever before. I’m ready to look foolish. I’m convinced its time for all of us who love Vintage Church in enable our faith. I’m willing to risk everything in order to experience the miracle He has for us.
Let’s make history!
