IF

In our churches,
WE NEED THE ABUNDANT LIFE THAT COMES FROM THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD.
We must seek after God's Spirit of Life, Love, Joy, Service, Peace, and Adventure.
IF we seek transformation and growth within the glory of God,
THEN we are empowered to move forward in unity with our mission!
IF we realize our need for God to make us a humble and loving family of God,
THEN we are able and inspired
to make disciples of Jesus for the transformation of the world.
IF we seek to experience the good news of the kingdom of God in our midst,
THEN we can go forth together to be the good news of the kingdom of God for the world.
Jesus said "They will know you are my disciples IF you love one another."
I pray that we will be so changed by the power of God
that we will love, serve, connect deeply, and celebrate with one another
SO THAT the world will know for sure that we are his disciples.
Amen.
