It is a sacred journey of joy to pour out ourselves and all that we have for Him. It is precisely the picture Paul writes of when, in Philippians, he calls us all to "have the same mindset as Christ." (Phil 2:5-7).

The Outpouring

Vision Sunday

Proverbs 29:18, Philippians 2:6-7, Acts 2:17-18

Proverbs 29:18 (KJV), "Where there is no vision, the people perish..."

"If people can't see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; But when they attend to what He reveals, they are most blessed. (Message paraphrase)

Philippians 2:6-7, "Though [Jesus] was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he emptied himself; he took the humble position of a slave..."

Acts 2:17-18, "'In the last days,' God says, 'I will POUR OUT my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will POUR OUT my Spirit even on my servants...'"

The Why

God's Outpouring is upon us - and to do nothing is to risk too much.

Luke 12:48, "When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required."

The Vision

1 Corinthians 3:7, "...only God gives the growth."

Matthew 16:18, "I will build my church."

The Call

Three things:

• Show up
• Pray up
• Give up
