The closest I’ve come to ever using the word ‘vanity’ is in attempting to sing ‘You’re so vain’ by Carly Simon! Now I’m really showing my age. That’s all until just the last week. I’ve had a hunch but now have faith that if I attempted to do all of the stuff I see other people doing it would all be … you guess it – vanity
Dave and Scott Wilson from ICL in Denmark run around part of the new Leeds Megacentre which about to under go it’s first face lift. Scott lets us in on the significance of church property to a community. We have been praying and believing for a significant property in the city centre of Leeds that will become a hive of activity for the community, businesses and the movers and shakers of Leeds. Watch out – here we come!
Dave is on a rampage to declare the goodness and blessing of God over the people of God. Isaiah 55 says ‘you shall go out in joy’. With the UK being declared as officially in recession Dave steps out to counteract and the spirit behind it. God is not contained or limited but able to fully resource and bless – just as he was a year ago. It’s time to choose to put on His glory, put on his provision and joy to become a greater witness.
Dave outlines his expectations for 2009 for Hope City Church in the midst of a national recession. He looks at the power of declaration and praise over your territory. It’s time to enlarge, stretch, lengthen and strengthen (Isaiah 54 vs 2). Shrinking back is not an option!
There is a mysterious force that when allowed to build can cause your church to become unstoppable. It’s called momentum – and right at the outset of 2009 Dave declares that gone are the days where you start something and then stop because of discouragement and then start again. The power of keeping on going in the face of adversity makes you unstoppable. When you give God your one talent – he’ll add another and then multiply your two. Your 2009 can’t afford to go by without it.
I really enjoy Christmas each year, but I have one big problem with getting presents – they sit there looking brand new and sparkly in a little pile saying read me, charge me up, upload me, look at me and use me……. and every year it secretly drives me a little crazy.
