How do I get to Heaven Button

"...that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel." - Philippians 1:27

 

GROWING

Planting in the work of God - There must be preparation before anything great is built or any crop is grown.  We will begin our year preparing our bodies, our ministries, and our church family in a church-wide fast during January and February.

Sowing in the will of God - After the soil is prepared, a good seed must be planted or sown.  It must be the right seed in the right soil.  Therefore, we will continue our historic ministry of soul-winning, world-wide missions, and seeking to sow the seed of God's Word.

TOGETHER

Cultivating in the field of God - A seed sown or a field planted must be watched and protected.  A plant must be given proper nutrition and protection in order to get the highest yield at harvest time.

Growing in the family of God - What a sight to see something that is healthy and vibrant.  A half of a year of preparation and solid growth spiritually leads to other growth areas.

WITH

Reaping the fruit of God - Strong, healthy plants, free of disease will yield fruit.  That is what they are designed to do.  As Christians, God has designed that we bear much fruit.

Rewarding in the eyes of God - God honors obedience and His plant yields rewards and crowns.  Everything we do should be for the eyes and the expectation from our Almighty God.

"That I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;"-- Philippians 3:10
