HUGE day yesterday as we wrapped up The Real Jesus and made the transition to the most important four weeks in NLC history - LOVE REVOLUTION.
I used stories to illustrate four of the most important traits of Jesus Christ, which show us what God is like:
Jesus is a God of hope.
Jesus is a God of strength.
Jesus is a God of love.
Jesus is a God of mercy.
Then we looked at Jesus' last words from Acts 1:8: "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you will be my witnesses, telling people everywhere about me - in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
We saw that for the disciples to whom Jesus spoke this meant:
Jerusalem - their immediate area
Judea - their broader region
Samaria - people unlike them - racially, ethnically, socio-economically
The ends of the earth - to other nations and cultures
That strategy is still in force and LOVE REVOLUTION will be about how Next Level is going to ignite a LOVE REVOLUTION in OUR Jerusalem, OUR Judea, OUR Samaria, and OUR ends of the earth.
This Sunday we will unveil all of the details and watch your mailbox for an informative brochure this week.
Can't wait!
