VISION 2030 Pt4: BECOMING PEOPLE OF PRESENCE, FORMATION & MISSION THROUGH SCRIPTURE, PRACTICES & DEPENDENCE ON THE HOLY SPIRIT'S GIFTS & POWER
Three things marked Jesus’ life: the presence of God, formation into the image of God and a life of responsive mission. Our vision is to see the invasion of God’s kingdom on the earth as it is in heaven through us. To do that, we must live the way of Jesus for the renewal of Niagara by becoming people of presence, formation and mission. In order to be people of presence, formation and mission we need to order our lives around scripture, spiritual practices and dependence on the Holy Spirit’s gifts and power. These were the training tools of Jesus and they are the things that we need today so that we can become people of presence, formation and mission.
VISION 2030 Pt3: BUILDING CATHEDRALS IN A WORLD OF CASTLES AND FORTRESSES
Our vision is to see the people of God live the prayer of Jesus “may your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” We long to see our cities filled with men and women who’s lives have become living cathedrals of God’s kingdom presence and power. We long to see the church realize again that we are the place where heaven touches earth, our lives are meant to be the place through which heaven invades the earth. The problem is often that we are building our lives with the wrong blueprints, not the blueprints of the kingdom to build cathedrals of God’s presence, but the blueprints of the world, the flesh and the devil to build castles and fortresses.
VISION 2030 Pt2: People living the way of Jesus through apprenticeship to Jesus
We long to close the gap between what we read in scripture and what we experience in our every day lives. If we are called to be these living cathedrals of gods, kingdom presence, and power on the Earth, as it is in heaven, there must be a way for us to begin living the reality of heaven. The invasion of gods kingdom on earth as it is in heaven through us begins with living the way of Jesus, for the renewal of Niagara. But what does it mean to live the way of Jesus?
VISION 2030
Vision 2030—PT 1: On Earth As It Is In Heaven Through You
What is the will or heart of God on the earth? It is found in the great prayer of all prayers, “your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” The will of God is invade the earth with his tangible presence and kingdom. That prayer is not only good theology, we are called to live it the way Jesus himself lived it.
In this first part of our Vision 2030 series we are taking a 30,000 foot view of God’s vision for our lives and our church, the invasion of his kingdom on earth as it is in heaven; through you. We are calling ourselves out of small thinking and a spirit of limitation. We are calling ourselves to repent for living dependent on our own strength and capacity. We are calling ourselves to become a living cathedral of the Father’s tangible kingdom on the earth as it is in heaven.
Foundations: The Invitation of Jesus
Foundations: The Invitation of Jesus
The foundation of God’s vision for our lives is to become like Jesus. To be formed into his image. We will never fully understand baptism until we understand the foundational call and invitation of Jesus. His invitation is to repent and turn to him.
