Now is Our Time, The Lord is Nudging Us
Whatever your gift, please be assured that your support is both urgently needed and will be greatly appreciated. Through the prayerful, volunteer, and financial support of many, and the extra-ordinary support of a few, our campaign can and will be a success. Then, our past accomplishments as a church will only be a prologue to an even more promising and prosperous future filled with even greater success. Now, we urgently need your support more than ever.
In fact, when we look at the life and ministry of Jesus, we see a similar sense of urgency in everything He did. With incredible compassion for the lost, He loved, served, healed, taught, and, ultimately, gave His all on Calvary’s cross. It is this same urgency and compassion that drive our mission and vision today.
First and foremost, there is an urgency because our Creator, Savior and Lord is worthy of and deserves the worship of every person. Yet, countless people locally and around the world are drifting far from Jesus and the saving truth of His Word. They are hopelessly lost. So now is the time to sharpen our witness and boldness. As we purposely and intentionally share the gospel, Jesus says: “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden” (Matthew 5:14).
Secondly, we have gospel urgency because people are constantly seeking fulfillment, hope, purpose and meaning in all the wrong places. But the deepest void and longing in every human heart can only be filled by Jesus. He alone has the saving message that brings life, meaning, healing and hope.
James 4:14 says that our life is like a mist – here one minute and gone the next. So, individually and collectively as God’s church, we must wisely manage and use the time, talents and resources that God has graciously entrusted to us.
And now is our time. We believe the Lord is nudging us to partner with Him in His harvest right now. And our campaign is designed for immediate kingdom growth and impact through new staff, new technology, and new facility and grounds improvements that will welcome, attract, and connect many people to our Savior Jesus and His advancing kingdom. We are counting on you to urgently partner with the Lord and His promises. As was said in Isaiah 28:16 – “Behold, I am the one who has laid a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation. And whoever believes will never be disappointed.”
