God is Preparing His Church for a Great Work…

God is Preparing His Church for a Great Work...
Infographic: “God is preparing you for a great work, so… 1. Be prepared to live in God’s story, not your own. Read your Bible every day. 2. Be prepared to resist unholy tyranny wherever you find it and obey God. 3. Be prepared to find joy in things other than your comfort. 4. Be prepared to do something you’ve never done before if God calls you to it. 5. Be prepared for God to take up residence in your life and be a little disruptive. 6. Be prepared to name sin, mortify the flesh, and destroy idols. 7. Be prepared to present an offering in worship instead of seeking a blessing. 8. Be prepared to train your children and grandchildren in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. 9. Be prepared for the pressure that will come when God starts straightening things out. 10. Be prepared for the weight of glory, which feels like responsibility. 11. Be prepared to lead boldly for Christ in the places that God has put you. 12. Be prepared to do the hard work of peacemaking, and to fight for the peace. 13. Be prepared for anything but business as usual when God is at work. 14. Be prepared for the lordship of Christ in every sphere of your life. 15. Be prepared to live as a Christian.” A center panel with a wheat icon reads “Building in 2025. The King has come, it’s time to get to work.”
