Stewardship Part 3
Tithing is thanking God for all that he has done for us, will do for us, and is going to doing for us. God sacrificed his son for our sins. A little appreciation for what our Hevanly father did for us goes a long way.

Generosity (Vision Update and Sermon)
We admit it. We have an agenda: we want you to join the church. All believers in Jesus in every time and place are members of the universal church, but committing to a local church is a vital part of the spiritual life for every Christ-follower. In our teaching series, CHURCH 101, we are taking several weeks to describe the foundational commitments of church membership. Our members are those who have accepted the mission of helping others become passionate followers of Jesus through the ministry and community of this church. Over the next few weeks, we will discuss what that means as we explore practically how we can live for Jesus as a part of His church.

Care for the Community
Today is pledge Sunday. It is a special day when we ask our members and attenders to make a pledge for their giving for the entire year. This pledge is for His glory and the for the Lord’s vision for this church. We have some exciting opportunities before us and have set some ambitious goals. We have asked our congregation to pray about this and make a sacrificial commitment before God for the entire year. May God guide you as you turn in your pledge card. CCPC’s vision is to be an Evangelical Presbyterian Church with an Acts 1.8 impact. We have now completed chapter one of Vision 1.8 and are beginning chapter two based on Acts 2. Our theme for 2009 is also taken from Acts 2, and is Jesus is Lord, as we reflected in our Stewardship Challenge brochure. This sets out the direction for CCPC in the days ahead. After prayer, and much input from the congregation, we have set some new God-sized goals: Grow in Grace and Truth, Build the Body, Raise Kingdom Resources and Care for our Community. We have covered the first three goals and what they mean for us as a church. Today in the Word we come to the last, Care for our Community, and we will be looking at the Great Commandment and the Great Commission

Raising Kingdom Resources
We are very thankful for the Lord's faithfulness and work at CCPC, especially during the past few years. When we embarked on Vision 1.8 in 2003 we had a hope, but only a hint of what the Lord would do among us. Many of us (600+) are participating in reading The Bible in 90 Days. We just read the account of God's calling Moses to lead His people out of bondage and into the Promised Land. The "vision" was clear, but there were many obstacles to overcome. Some were personal to Moses- As an unproven leader, he was not a good communicator and he had little confidence that he was up to the task. Some of the obstacles were attitudes among the people of Israel - they were very reluctant to undertake what was required to attain a new life. Some of the obstacles were circumstantial. Politically, they were trapped in a system they were powerless to leave. Economically, there was no visible hope of attaining their dreams. God’s plans were not to take the obstacles out of their lives, but to lead them through the obstacles to a better life. As we consider our goal of Raising Kingdom Resources, the Biblical account of God's faithfulness to a people much like us gives us encouragement!
