Want DEEPER Bible Study?

This is my personal invitation to dig deeper into your Bible and to go further in your relationship with God in the weeks ahead. 

 The next three messages at Phos will be related largely to a new book by Steven Furtick called, Sun Stand Still.  You can learn more about it on the Phos Website.  I'd encourage you to grab the book, grab your Bible and GET DEEP and grow strong.  

Enjoy.

Phos Vision Revisted

Back in the Spring of 2010 I shared a message with the live crew at Phos about our Vision/Mission/Purpose and I wanted to post up the image set from that message because it's always good to remember what we're doing, why we're doing it and how we're doing it.  At the end of the game it's always about carrying out Jesus' Intentions for the World.  (we call this 'Commander's Intent')  He stated His intentions clearly in his last statement to His followers in Matthew 28 when He told them to 'go into all the world and make disciples who will do everything that I have commanded you and baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.'

Let me point out a few compelling differences about Phos ...
1.  Mission is central to our work of Disciple Making at Phos.  Not only do we use mission to reach more people but we use mission as a 'forge' to hammer out the Disciple Making process.  It's central to us to be engaged wherever we work, live, and play and then to carry that mission to the ends of the earth as well.  We grow best when we go.
2.  We will fully engage in serving in this community where/when she is in motion.  We'll be light in dark places and plant flowers in the deepest messes.  Jesus commissioned His followers to be Light in the world.  If the church goes camping and refuses to engage where people are then the world goes dark.  We grow best when we are light in the middle of real life.
3.  We believe that Disciples are formed best in one-on-one personal, real relationships.  We tag that process of helping and being helped as the mentoring matrix.  It's vital for a person that wants to get 'Big' in her/his relationship with Christ and others to have the proper coaching from others who are growing that way.  You gotta have buddies who wanna be 'Giant Killers' and Upward Mentors who are Giant Killin', land-takin', full-on Christ followin' people if you wanna become on, too.  You gotta have great mentors if you wanna grow.

There's a lot more that I could share with you, but this slide set of images will be a great reminder as we move forward.

Have a great day,
Jeff

Please Pray for Eric

Hey everybody,
Nathan and I are asking for prayers for a good friend of ours. We just found out late last night that our friend Eric has Hodgkens Lymphoma. He is 26 years old. He is an absolute amazing kid and it breaks my heart that he and his family are facing this. Please add him to your prayer list as he faces the unknown. He goes to the doctor this week to figure out when they will be starting treatment.
Thanks guys,

Get in On What God is UP to 100% of the time ... Message Images for 10-31-10 at Phos Church

If you have a desire to know how to get in on what God is up to and how to know & do His will then this message is spot-on for you.  

In the first Chapter of Deuteronomy Moses lays out the history of the Israelite's journey out of Egypt and their grumbling in their tents rather than taking the Promised land on the first lap.  In just a few verses Moses gives us HUGEMONGOUS insights into how to Miss Out on What God is doing 100% of the time and how to Get Into the Action as a God-Following 'Giant Killer' 100% of the time.  

It really comes down to a choice of whether we'll listen to God and do what He says or 'grumble in our tents'.  

  • When have you done exactly what God called you to do?
  • When have you 'grumbled' in your tent?

What are you doing now?  Are you 'grumbling' or strapping on your boots and gearing up to go?

The future belongs to those who will get in on what He is up to 100% of the time.
