What Contributes to IT
What Contributes to IT? Scripture: Numbers 10:1-10 When we meet, is it present? How can we tell? Do first time attender’s experience it ? Can it be programmed into our gatherings? Where can I buy it ? If it doesn’t show …well, why not? WHAT is it anyhow? Review: From last Sunday"s messag (Exodus 33) "What is IT" The best explanation I can give of what IT is -- are the following unique qualities found in his people: A passion to linger in His awesome presence Faith filled anticipation, reverence, and humility in worship Longing to get to know God's ways better Being desperate to the point of begging to experience more of His Glory The glory cloud is God's deal, hammering out trumpets and then sounding them is our responsibility (Numbers 10:1-10) 1. The blowing of two trumpets calls the whole community together. 2. The sound of one trumpet calls the leaders to meet. 3. A distinct sequence of sounds signals the order of "setting out" on their journey. 4. The clear blast of the trumpet was a call to do battle with the enemy. 5. A different sound was for appointed times of rejoicing. " If people can't see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves" Proverbs 29:18 (the Message Bible) Without a clear vision, people will never get IT and keep IT. IT doesn't show up on its own. IT follows a God honoring vision that people are willing to give their lives to. What are the five things we do? We focus all our energy on these five things 1. We believe, preach and teach the Bible is our final authority and moral compass. 2. We celebrate in worship which strengthens us. 3. We build meaningful relationships which connect us. 4. We learn to pray which empowers us. 5. We reach out to the unchurched, nominal Christians and seekers inviting them to become Christ followers.

Do Good: World
Like Jonah, sometimes God calls us to go to places we don't want to go to do impossible tasks that we already know God will take care of in the end. Though God's mercy endures forever and God holds all things in accordance to his will, still God calls us to go.
