What Are You Creating?
DISCUSS & ENGAGE THE SCRIPTURES
1. Read Matthew 28:19-20. This weekend, we celebrated people taking a step into baptism and declaring, “Jesus is Lord, and I will follow Him” which makes this our biggest year of baptisms yet.
- What is your baptism story?
- If you haven’t been baptized yet, what is the Holy Spirit revealing to you about baptism?
2. Read Genesis 1:28. You were created to create. The greatest way to create a future for yourself is to create the future for others.
- How are you currently using your resources to create with God?
- What would it look like for you to consume less and create more?
- What lies have you believed about seeing yourself as a creator, and how can you break free from those lies?
3. God has called us to do Missional Move: Create the Future where we create these five things in five years and we are almost two years in.
1. Prayer Center
2. VC College (Training Center)
3. Argyle Campus
4. University Campus
5. 7 Continent Strategy
- What stood out most to you from this update?
- What is the Holy Spirit saying to you as you reflect on the question: “Are you building what we are building?”
4. We’ve asked everyone to commit to these three things for this Missional Move.
1. Choose to commit to Valley Creek as your church – it's really hard to create a future you're not committed to.
2. Give a sacrificial financial gift over the next two years above and beyond your current tithes and offerings.
3. Take one tangible next step of faith each year over the next five years so we can continue to become the kind of people who can steward this future well.
- As you’ve been walking out these commitments, what have you noticed about who you are becoming? For anyone who is new, what step of faith is God inviting you to?
PRAY
Jesus, help us design, dream, fund, build, and steward the future of Valley Creek as the church.
