“Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else.”
2 Corinthians 9:13

As we look to the future, we see thousands upon thousands of people all around us who need Jesus.  Some are falling away.  Many, many more are waiting to be reached out to by loving laborers.  Elk Grove and south Sacramento continue to grow with thousands of new residents.  Who will reach out to these precious souls with the good news of Jesus?

We must take on this challenge.  We must invite them in and open our hearts to receive them with love and acceptance.  But we have a difficulty that must be overcome: Our home is not big enough.  We must have more space for more people.  We must adjust what we currently have and make plans for a future move or expansion (that’s the “X”) to bring more people into a relationship with God!  How can we do this?  First, by seeing this as a challenge and not a problem.  This demands the right spiritual vision.  In the days ahead, together, we are going to believe God will give us the insight — and the foresight — to do great things for His sake.

Prayer Focus:  Today, think about a close friend, family member or someone you can see being reached with the Gospel — someone you are praying will one day worship the Lord with us in Impact’s new home. 

Pray about what it will take to get them in the Kingdom.  Then envision them in a seat at Impact.  Awesome isn’t it?  Now envision about 1000 other current attenders at Impact doing the same thing.  Wow!  Where will we put them?  Let that simmer with you and God for a while!
