Today in Vancouver!

Wednesday, March 22, 2010 Yawners, Maimers and Killers??? The Mission of the Adventist Community Church is to Reach Deep in Discipleship, Reach Out in Evangelism and Reach Up in Worship. During Roger's Sabbath morning messages, he has been unpacking the concepts of the Mission - Discipleship, Evangelism, and Worship.  This week last week he talked about Discipleship and one of his illustrations was about the difference between Yawners, Maimers and Killers.  Yawners: Those people who come to church only when there is nothing better to do.  They aren't involved, they aren't giving, they don't really care and they do no damage to the enemy's kingdom. Maimers: These are people who are doing passing damage to the enemy's kingdom.  They are starting to get involved, but it's irregular.  They are starting to give of their tithes and offerings, but it's irregular. Killers: These people are the ones that LIVE for the kingdom of God and do constant damage to Satan's kingdom.  They are fully devoted disciples of Jesus. One of our Core Values in our church is: "Full devotion to Christ and His cause is normal."  The expectation is that if you are following Christ, then His cause is normal for you and me.  What does it take to get there? Community Groups, LIFE Journal/Personal Devotions, Fellowship, Sharing, Accountability, a decision to go all the way with Jesus.  Prophecies Puzzles This is a big week.  The brochures should be in the mail today or tomorrow.  We are mailing to 137,000 homes in all of Clark County and we're praying that our auditorium in the Worship Center is filled to capacity on Friday night. We've spent the money to advertise - pray that it works.  We've been praying that the Holy Spirit would cover this county and remove anything that would keep people from responding.  We're praying that people's hearts are soft. Please spend some time inviting someone to come this week!
