To Know Him And To Show Him

Join us in the third part of our series on Our Church Vision as Pastor Dave looks in to the Pre-eminence of God.
Our church vision states:
We believe it is the desire of the Lord to have a Bible believing, Spirit filled (“Pentecostal”), outward looking (“Evangelical”) & vibrant Church in Oakdale. Thereby influencing & affecting our village & beyond spiritually, morally & socially for His praise & glory. A 1st century Church in/for the 21st century.
A place where all ages can know the Lord, find their place of service in His Body & go show Him to their world.
We as a Church have always been & will continue to be totally committed to Prayer/Intercession, understanding that Jesus wants a “ House of prayer for all nations” (Lk.19:46).
“Prayer” encapsulates what we as a fellowship want to be:
P: Pre-eminence of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Church as His body & in the individuals that make it up (Matt.6:33, Eph.1:20-23, Col.1:18).
R: Relationships developed & matured: Firstly, with the Lord through Prayer/Word/Fellowship (to know Him as our primary purpose in life), & with each other; committed, serving & loving one another (Lk.10:38-42, Jn.15:12-17).
A: Authority of the Word of God as our only manual for life & source of Truth which we are committed to the preaching/exposition/studying of (1Cor.1:21, 2Tim.3:16-17).
Y: Yielding to the leading, prompting & inspiration of the Holy Spirit in all areas/aspects of our lives; family, work, finance& leisure (Gal.5:16-25). Knowing it is vital to be continually filled so we can be naturally supernatural & work out our gifting to serve others (Acts.1:4-8,Eph.5:18, 1Pet.4:10).
E: Evangelism: Personal & corporate. “To know Him & SHOW Him”. Always looking outward, as Christ”s purpose was “to seek & save the lost” so ours is to be (Matt:28:19-20, Lk.19:10).
R: Restoration of true Biblical Christianity i.e. 1st century Church; ministry & spiritual gifts in full operation, spontaneous Spirit led worship which is borne out by a righteous, holy life full of the fruit of the Spirit (Book of Acts).

The main reading for tonight's study is Philippians chapter 2.
