Build Your Kingdom Here, We Pray

This is a special weekend in the life of our local church - Cottonwood Creek.  We are truly transforming the 4 walls of our church into a mission field where we are serving and reaching the least of these on our campus.  We are packing dry food goods that will feed villages in the Dominican Republic.  We are sorting seeds to allow farmers to plant crops to make a living to feed their families.  We are sending shoe boxes through Operation Christmas Child across the world to reach children who will experience the hands and feet of Jesus through a small gift of love.  We are also learning about an opportunity we have as a church to reach one of the darkest cities in our nation.

Here is the deal - God is on the move and He is building His kingdom, and we have an opportunity to be a part of it this weekend!

How is God moving and growing His kingdom?  THROUGH JESUS CHRIST & THE CHURCH! (2 Samuel 7:12-14)

God is establishing His church to transform lives.  God is raising up a generation that is on mission to reach the least of these, (Matthew 25:39-41) the hurting, suffering, orphaned and widowed.  God is in control and is doing a work in the church. (Job 37:14-16)

Our response to God today?  We are singing a song that accurately speaks to the purpose of this weekend, this Missions Month, and to sharing Jesus with our friends, nation and the world.  Listen to these words…

Build Your kingdom here

Let the darkness fear

Show Your mighty hand

Heal our streets and land

Set Your church on fire

Win this nation back

Change the atmosphere

Build Your kingdom here

We pray

So, now is the time for you to lay down your life before God, pray to Him and allow His kingdom to rule in your life!  If you do this, Your life will be transformed forever!  

Join us this weekend at The Gift.
