Yesterday, I began to share a little bit about where Oasis is going this year… our goal, purpose, end destination is as follows:
Oasis Church exists to love and lead all people from where they are to where God wants them to be…refreshing life in Him!
Here is the second checkpoint on our journey to reach this goal…
Love People and our 2012 Goal – Foster Healthy Relationships
- we want to be people who are excited to see each other… those who have been here a while and those who are new… wouldn’t that be great for a church??
- to be a place, a family, where we get along with each other… there is a unity, a bond of love because of Jesus
- take time, effort, patience to grow together.. in spite of differences that will arise… to pray for each other… Churches are families, living body…
- a place where we realize the goals are bigger than us…
- Jesus has come and we are part of His redemption plan… we are in this together!
- Healthy relationships set the stage for lifelong friendship…
- spiritually speaking, the Holy Spirit can be experienced and His power is present when the church is loving each other, according to the Bible!
Ecclesiastes 4: 9 – 12 Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. 10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. 11 Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? 12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.
Oasis Church is a place where… “No one stands alone”. North Florida needs to see a church that actually loves each other and loves the surrounding community!
Simply, we need each other…we live life better as a team of friends, a family with shared goals than a bunch of individuals…
Oasis Winter Groups begin the week of the 15th… kids, youth, adults will study the Bible together and pray for each other this year! Make sure you get involved, get connected in a group, and make fostering healthy relationships a goal in 2012.
