Grow more, How?
Inward
The first step in the process is for us to grow inside Grace Church, for us to grow as disciples. That means we all need to face and accept the challenge that we are here on planet earth to further His Kingdom, not ours. That means looking inside ourselves and facing the truth of who we are, first of all, outside of Christ and then, praise God, who we are because of Christ. Once we reconcile that incredible Truth, then we can, out of great gratitude, ask the question: God what do you want me to do now?
Outward
Next we need to face the fact that there are thousands of people in our community who are very far from God. We need to reach out into the community and bring those people in, show them who God is, by what we do, how we act, how we love each other, and how we love Him. To take this step, we have to grow, from a facilities standpoint, so we have room for those people, room for them to seek, find, and know God...room for their lives to change for now and forever.
Upward
All of these steps will ultimately help us all as individuals, as a church, and even a community, to grow upward…To grow closer to Him, closer to His likeness. What more is there?
