on fire

A people on fire, flamers :-)

As we enter a new year of Elevate, we are looking to create an atmosphere that ignites and perpetuates the flam of God's love in every individual that comes.
It is the love of God that makes a difference in the world.
It is the love of God that changes the atmosphere of the world we live in.
It is the love of God that can change the life of individuals.
It is the love of God that changed our lives.

As we look to the opportunities that meeting every week brings us, we are excited about the rhythm that our community can begin to develop. We look forward to a rhythm that will encourage, and ignite the love of God in everyone who attends. As people interact with God's love during one of our services we see at least two or three main desires being fanned into flame.
One is a desire to know the source of that love in a deeper way.
Second is the desire to share that love with the world/community that we have personal contact with.
And third is the desire to come back and encourage others again with what the love of God has been doing in our lives and in our community the past week.

We also are looking forward to seeing God presents at work in each one of our services.
We expect to see people healed (physically and spiritually and emotionally). We expect to see people challenged. We expect to see people broken and wrecked for God.we expect people to hear from God. We expect people to share and interact with each other about God and his love.
And we expect this every week.

we also know relationships are complicated, and people can get messy. We believe that expectation is part of the beauty in which the love of God is seen. We know creating the perfect environment for God does not mean creating the perfect environment. We believe it is a calling God to come to this place and change our environment and to shift our atmosphere. That expectation is something we can look forward to every week.
The relationship we have with God is also complicated. The atmosphere into which He comes may not always look or feel the same, but it is something we can expect to participate in.

I look forward to see you there.
I look forward to sharing with you the Love of God
