This Is Us - wk1
As we launch into 2023 - we're celebrating 10 years as a church and seeing God work in and through His church! We're going to spend some time drilling down on our renewed vision we feel the Lord is leading us to pursue after as we begin the year together. Join us Sundays in January as we each discover our next steps of owning our vision and living it out! This Is Us.

...an inviting community of Jesus followers, commissioned by the gospel to make disciples by cultivating relationships with the love of Christ.
We’re not only looking back over last 10 years - we’re looking ahead into the next!
INVITATION is a part of each of our stories
Invitation is at the heart of the gospel

INVITATION is a part of each of our stories
Invitation is at the heart of the gospel
It’s not that we sought God out first, but that He first loved us and went seeking us! He initiated the invite and we are the benefactors of that invitation.
They went from a people with NO hope – to a people with no end to their hope. They went from a dying people, to a rescued people with new life
They went from people lost in desperation, to a people captivated by celebration.
Sounds like the gospel to me...
people who receive such great news, don't stockpile -- they SHARE IT

We want to live in such a way that we earn the right to invite people closer to Jesus and into next steps with Him. We want to wake up and walk through our days, continually on the look out for how we can extend an invite to folks versus keeping folks at arms length, extinguishing them and writing them off.
We don’t follow ‘cancel culture’, instead, we build a grace-filled one that champions people so they know God is for them and available.
We invite. = This is Us

John 1:43-46
43 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. He found Philip and told him, “Follow me.”
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law (and so did the prophets): Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
46 “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Nathanael asked him.
“Come and see,” Philip answered.

We want to cultivate followers of Jesus here at Elements, not just fans or mere admirers of Him.
Followers surrender.
Followers exercise faith.
Followers take next steps.
Followers are always growing.
Followers are focused on the Savior.
Followers follow where He leads.
Followers aren’t fair-weather fans - they don’t fade when the going gets tough.
…THE OTHER THING:
Followers ARE INVITERS
