Tonight we had our last small group study from the book Sun Stand Still by pastor Steven Furtick. This session dealt with how we often receive a calling from God and if we choose to walk in this calling we will face those who want us to just keep things the way they are and not rock the boat. I hope that I will be obedient to God's calling on my life as He calls me to various things and sometimes the one who wants to keep things the way they are is me...kind of ironic!
Here are some areas God might be calling you to a new, higher level of living (and me too):
- Marriage- serving and loving your spouse as Christ loved the church sacrificially
- Family- leading your children toward a greater vision of what Christ can do in their lives and raising them to be ready for that calling
- Finances- being generous with what we have been given
- Prayer- praying with fervency and audacity
- Sharing our faith- making this a regular thing in our lives and not waiting for the perfect moment
With HVCS I believe God has given me the vision of working towards a school where we lead children and families closer to Christ with intentionality. I believe the He wants for us to honor Him as we grow to our maximum number of 200 students. I believe He wants us make it to where tuition will meet our operational costs so that fundraising will be for capital expenditures and projects.
This takes time, perseverance, and for our faculty, staff, and school families to be committed to a cause bigger than themselves and for them to believe that the school is a part of what God is doing in Chattanooga. Will you partner with us in praying for our school that He will use it for His glory?
