We are entering week two of our Vision and Mission series, where we are exploring the realities of our future, today. This week, we are looking at the identity and function of the Church. As we examine the story of Gideon in Judges 6-8, we find a small remnant of 300 people who form an army that defeats their enemies, numbering 135,000, in a decisive yet unorthodox victory. This is the picture of the Church: we are at war against the principalities and rulers of this world, not with human weapons but with those that dismantle strongholds. When we get together, a small group can see a massive multiplication effect in our cities because there is little that can stop the Church. It’s only the absence of godly men and women that allows evil to triumph. The Church is a force to be reckoned with when we come to a full understanding of our true identity, built on revelation and formed to heal, prosper, and build cities. Don’t forget that God’s chosen instrument of revival is the Church; every move of God in history has been in and through the Church. Let’s gather!

We’re kicking off the new year with our vision and mission series from January through February. As we take the time to know and clarify where we are, where we’re going, and how we plan on arriving there, it will take all of our family to accomplish the audacious promises God has given us. We are in preparation for war, a time where God is calling us to know that the weapons of our warfare are not flesh and carnal but powerful promises and Truths that break down strongholds of the enemy. We are living in a time when it is easy to see a drift toward a complacent and apathetic lifestyle. But God is calling those willing to take up their commission to go deeper in their relationship with God, becoming intimate and birthing something we have been carrying. As we read through the story of Gideon and his army, there is a strong correlation to us at Grace in this season of Holy Transition God has us in.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire is not a spiritual accessory designed for charismatic circles; it is God’s appointed means of empowering His people to live and witness beyond human ability. Jesus Himself did not begin His ministry without the Spirit, showing that mission without power is incomplete. Through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, believers receive deeper intimacy with God, boldness for witness, victory over the flesh, strength in prayer, and spiritual gifts to build the Church. This gift is promised by God, but it is received by those who hunger, ask, and depend fully on Him rather than themselves. The true question is not whether the Spirit is able, but whether we desire Him above all else.

God has always had a plan of redemption for us through Christ. We need only to have faith in the grace extended to us through the Cross and submit to a loving Father who empowers us by the Holy Spirit to not be focused on the temporary but instead the eternal. Are you distracted by the cares of this world, or are your affections on things above?

The world makes a lot of promises in offering ways to satisfy our desires and bring us fulfillment. Many look for the secret by changing their circumstances or seeking success as the world defines it. Others get off track through the peaks and valleys of life. Paul shows us the Gospel offers the only way to complete contentment and satisfaction in every situation this side of eternity. We can’t find it in ourselves or in the world—only in the fullness of God. And out of that gift of fullness, we can rejoice, and do great exploits for His glory.

This week we continue our close look at the character and nature of God. The prophet Isaiah had a life-changing, dangerous encounter–behind the veil of the temple–with the profoundly holy God of angelic warriors. In this encounter he came undone, believing himself to be doomed simply by being a sinful man in the presence of the King. Then, at an atoning touch, he was radically transformed and joined the mission of God. As we explore the implications of this encounter, we see that a Great High Priest came much later who–in the most extraordinary way–ripped apart the veil, forever changing the way we encounter the very same King. How will you respond?

Our tendency is to read the Bible as if we are the main character. We read it to affirm what we already know, infer our own presence as the hero of the story, and get our ego stroked by false affirmations. Instead, the Word offers another function in reading: it trains, it equips, and it shapes like fire and a hammer. The story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15 may be better titled if the focus is not on us, but on God. It’s a story about a father who recklessly loves his two sons. He showers the one with unrestrained celebration and offers all he has to the other as an excessive act of mercy. Our hearts are prone to connect with the younger or the older son, but the real connection is to keep our hearts dwelling on the central character of the story, the prodigal’s father.
