This year is going to be a special year in the history of CWS. We are expecting God to 'cement' the foundation of this movement in the coming months of 2013. The 'cement' will be LOVE. God has given us a rhema word to pray, focus, and be open to love Him and people and build strong relationships with Him and people. He spoke to me through Acts 2 at the close of 2012 in reference to the vision for CWS in 2013.
We have started year 3 of this journey called CWS (for now). Year 1 everything was new and different and it was a FRESH START for individuals, families, and the ministry of CWS. Year 2 God enabled us to focus on spiritual disciplines for the individual and ensuring we grow to be SOLID ROCK DISCIPLES OF CHRIST. Year 3 is the year He expects us to LOL! Yup, you read that right! We are going to LOL this year at CWS. We are going to:
And going back to Acts 2 the closing parts, we are reminded how the community of believers was fortified and developed. Through that the last words in that chapter says, the Lord added to them daily. We are not abandoning evangelism and outreach, but we are strengthening the reality of community within the folks of the church. All that has to originate, flow, live out, and be fruitful through love. When we accept the love of Christ, we have to live out the love of Christ in all circles of our life.
The vehicle through which CWS will prepare an environment will be similar to what we see in Acts 2: SMALL GROUPS. We are launching small groups in February with sign ups to start this Sunday. I'm not going to give away too many details today, but feel free to come check out a service Sundays at 930 am or follow us online via Facebook / Twitter / YouTube. We believe that we will grow through small groups in all facets of life. And that LOVE will flow out through lives, families, groups, church into our communities which will draw the people away from Christ towards Him.
If you are not plugged into a church that is Bible-based, Christ-centered, Spirit-filled, and multi-ethnic living out the Great Commission & Great Commandment, come check it out. Our mission is to be a catalyst in restoring lives for a Christ-centered purpose, empowering minds with knowledge of God, aligning and developing leaders for service, and proclaiming Jesus Christ in Biblical worship & lifestyle.
Let's take this journey together because greater things are yet to come!
Enjoy The Ride,
Pastor Cecil
