LOOKING AT THE FUTURE:
God is looking for a group of people who want to be phenomenal for Him
➢ People who want to redefine normal
➢ People who want to go from nominal to phenomenal
“Almost Christian” is not going to work
You know – almost is never good enough:
Soccer
Lottery
Marriage
You go to your doctor’s office because of a serious medical issue in your life
The certificate on the wall states: “Almost passed his medical exams”
Not good enough
We need to move from “almost” to “altogether”
We would say – “get it together” / “get it altogether”
Pass the exams and then call yourself a doctor
Christianity today needs to get it altogether and then call itself a force to be reckoned with…
The Church needs to, once again, become phenomenal as it first was as recorded in the book of Acts…
Extraordinary
Supernatural
Unusual
Powerful
Out of the ordinary
Fanatical
World-changers
Radical
Revolutionary
