The Bridge – From What is to What Will Be

The Bridge – From What is to What Will Be

Part 1 – Our Vision

Matt. 22:37-40; 28:18-20; Phil 1:6

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40

“A Great Commitment to the Great Commission and the Great Commandment will build a Great Church!” – Pastor Rick Warren

Some time later God tested Abraham. Genesis 22:1a.

“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5.

14 So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.” Genesis 22:14

3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:3-6

What can I do?

1) PRAY.

2) PLAN.

3) PREPARE.

3 … “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the Levitical priests carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it… 5 Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.” Joshua 3:3,5

4) PRESENT.
