To pour our resources into God's kingdom is making an eternal investment - using what He's given us for the salvation of thousands! Taking the Good News of Christ to thousands more people in Downriver will require sacrifice. Astronauts are willing to put everthing on the line for their misson. What are we willing to lay on the line for Christ's mission?

The Lord's given us a Great "Co-Mission" to make disciples...so we need to partnered with Him in prayer, and with others for spiritual growth and to build our faith. Becoming a two-campus church is a "God Thing"...so we need to be powered up by His Spirit. He is our fuel, and yet we want to be consumed by Him.

Before a launch can be made, everyone needs to be catalyzed for the mission, and understand the need for reaching more people for Christ. This message is meant to motivate many to get involved in this "God Thing" - the new campus.

Ron and Steve (Guest Speakers From New Churches of Christ Evangelism) have lots of experience in new church work. They'll be highlighting how new churches are most effective at reaching people for Christ, and how many churches around the country are becoming multi-site to expand their outreach.

Our faith moves us to get up and get busy in God's work! Jesus is building His church, and He wants you to make your move so that it will be the kind of church He desires-healthy, loving, and growing. Are you going to sit there, or are you going to exercise your faith by taking what you've learned and putting it to use? Move it or lose it...

People surround us every day who are in need of what we have - and Jesus calls us to share it with them. It's the lifesaving message of the Gospel. When He saved you, it wasn't just your benefit alone - He left you here for the specific mission of reaching the people in your everyday life right where you are. We don't always have to go around the world to be missionaries...sometimes we just have to walk across the room.

We're not saved by good works, but for them - as the evidence and expression of a Christ follower. That means there should be 0% unemployment in God's Kingdom - nobody should be out of a job or loafing around because everyone's got something they can do to meet needs and make a difference. What works has God prepared for us, and gifted you to do?

This message could change your life...and the lives of people you know. What happens once God gets a hold of you and turns you and turns you right-side up? He begins to use you to influence others in this upside-down world! The reason He's left you here is to do for others what someond did for you-help get them right and reconciled with God! It's you great privilege to partner with God in changing the world...one life at a time.

Jesus launched a counter-cultural movement of revolutionaries that were so changed and challenged that they upset the status quo, transformed societies, and provided a new life-giving message of faith, hope, and love. We're part of the revolution, and there's still much to do!

As Christians we're networked, connected, and mobile. So why are we missing out on what's most important?
