Seeker vs Believer

Love God
Love People
Love the World

Easy Right?

So our meeting on Thursday morning for The Way was good. We talked a lot about being Gods masterpiece.

Ephesians 2:10
(NIV)
10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

(NASB)
10For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

(NLT)
10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Isn't that way cool? We were crafted in such a way that is unexplainable that we are called his masterpiece!
So not only are we a beautiful masterpiece, but we have good things prepared by God for us to walk in.

TIGHT!

Okay.

Believer vs Seekers

When begining a church plant which direction do you want to go?

Trick Question.

Niether.

As I told John Bryant "How can you possibly choose? Whatever one you pick you are leaving out the other."

What do I mean by this?

Okay... Its pretty simple.

Believer Focus: We dig into the Bible with Great Depth and learn more of Gods word. Hopefully you will have some knowledge of who Christ is before you come. Because we want to grow and not wait for you to catch up.

Seeker Focus: We have an alter call every week and God is saving people left and right! Everywhere you look a new believer is popping up. Now what? What do you we do with them? Ahh... Who knows... but lets keep saving them!

Now I know I sound a little sarcastic and a bit over exagerated, but I was trying to do that so you understand what I mean.

If we aren't Believer centered and we aren't Seeker centered...

Then what are we?

...Drum Roll Please...

Jesus Centered.

Too easy right?

Jesus appealed to both the Believer and the Seeker.

Did he not?

We Focus on Jesus and who he was and what he did and how.

Our ultimate Focus is God.


The Way Vision

What is our vision you might ask?
Ahh... Who knows. We can try to make what up, but whats the point?

Gods Vision for they way?
Wow I am glad you asked!

Love God
Love People
Love the World
