In the third week of our "Start Again" series we addressed the question of WHY CONFERENCES?
•Interaction w/ our other campuses.
•Interaction w/ the larger Vineyard.
•Levels of Jesus’ involvement.
Then we looked at the levels of Jesus' engagement with the crowds. We specifically looked at how you cannot have miracles to the 1,000's if the crowd wasn't gathered.
•Jesus’ THREE– Matthew 17
•Jesus’ TWELVE – Matthew 10
•Jesus’ 72 – Luke 10
•Jesus’ 4,000 – Matthew 15
•Jesus’ 5,000 – Matthew 14
•Early Church (3,120+) – Acts 2
•5,000 men + families – Acts 4:4
We really encouraged everyone to engage in the Urbana conferences as we hope they will be a key part of our growth as a campus. We also talked about doing some of our own in the future.
Key Thought:
Conferences allow us to ENCOUNTER the Father in a new way. They EQUIP us for greater levels of partnering with the Holy Spirit. Plus, they ENVELOP us into the greater body of Jesus.
SIDE NOTE: thanks to all who volunteered last week!
