5 Reasons Why it Was One of My Favorite Weekends; But it’s Not Over


Live Dead Month at Clarity came to end end this week, but the live dead lifestyle has only just begun. Here are a few reasons that made last weekend so special and reminders that it’s not just about that weekend, but the entire next year and beyond: 
1. We baptized six people; the ultimate declaration of what it means to go down into our own death and come alive in the fullness and purpose of Jesus. Now we are compelled by the love of God to live out that reality together day by day as growing disciples of Jesus and as missionaries to the people of LA.
2. We are VERY close to having enough people step up to raise the $50,000 we need to plant the church in Somalia. Now we must come through with those commitments and give more as we are enabled and stirred to live by faith. God blesses us as we radically align our resources with His heart, even as we are still in need of support ourselves. Give here.
3. Missionary Will Cleveland and his family are in our hearts and now we must pray for them and the other Live Dead team members daily. Like the Facebook page for daily prayer need updates.
4. Seeds were planted for some of you to go as Live Dead missionaries to unreached people groups overseas. If that is you, your response is simple; spend extravagant time with Jesus, do what He says, be faithful today, and talk to us about next steps.
5. We move right into our next series feeling very led by the Holy Spirit into this critical issue; MONEY. We will learn the counter cultural principles that lead to the blessing of God in our finances so that we can be faithful and healthy. It is useless to have radical faith, to take massive risks, and try to move forward in power if we don’t know how to walk in His blessing. See you Sunday!
