SUNDAY's MESSAGE ONLINE NOW!

"Desire Spiritual Gifts: Yielded Vessel"

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit will operate through believers that are hungry for the gifts and are yielded. The more yielded we are to God, the more His gifts are able to flow through us.
We are God's vessels that He chooses to use in order to manifest His power and will in the earth. How yielded are we?

Ready to grow?...

In order for Lifeway Church to grow as quickly and as strong as the Lord desires each one of us must be growing!

You are Lifeway Church and God will only increase us as a Church as much as we are able to maintain and sustain the growth.

This brings up the issue of the difference between Godly growth and man-made growth.

Godly growth comes from the inside out as a result of prayer and the Word. (study Acts) Outward, man-made growth depends on learned techniques and marketing strategies.

"Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it" - Psalm 127:1

Notice that the house was built...but it was built in vain because the Lord was not leading and working through the laborers. We do not desire to build something that is man-made and done in vain. This is why there is such an emphasis on prayer and the Word!

Foundations that are strong are the ones that are dug deep and on the bedrock so that when the building is constructed on top of the foundation it can tower and withstand any and all storms.

When I worked in Buckhead my office was next to 50 story Sovereign building. I watched them build that building from "below ground" up! It was a sight. They dug and dug, deeper and deeper to build the foundation before they ever did anything above the ground.

We are digging at Lifeway. We need a strong foundation in prayer and the Word so that as the body begin to multiply there is the stability to sustain the growth and continue to grow!

Let's grow...are you ready?

We love you and pray for you daily!
