All about the numbers – Part 2

Numbers. There is a whole book of the Bible devoted to them. I have discovered that the only time people don’t want to talk about numbers is when they are ashamed of them. But, why are we ashamed? I do not measure my success against anyone else. I only have one measure of success. What has God said?

This past week, we took our staff to the All Access Conference at C3 Church. What stood out to me was the heart of the ARC leaders. Pastors of churches with 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000+ wanted to hear the stories of what God was doing in our church! It wasn’t, “That’s great. Did you hear about the 50 billion saved at our church?” NO! They know that every soul counts. Every date matters. Every win is a win! Don’t ever be ashamed of your numbers. Every one of them represents a soul… a life changed by Him!

Let me share a few more numbers with you today.

SEVENTEEN - In just seventeen weeks, ROCK Church goes double! That’s right, we’re going 2X every Sunday beginning August 30th. You can also listen to the Vision Night podcast when it posts later this week. I’ll go more in depth this week about the reasons we are going double. This is going to be epic! I’m counting down.

FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED TWENTY NINE – The current address for our friends at Life Community Church on Oleander Drive. They have been at this location for a while and it is TOO SMALL! Why? Because they have a God size vision. I’m not talking about in the future. I mean right now. I have been praying with Pastor Tim Blevins for a while that God would provide a new, bigger space.

THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED – The new, future address of Life Community Church in Independence Mall. That’s right, IN THE MALL! Talk about location. I believe LCC is about to go very big and I could not be more excited for them.

TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND – How much money Pastor Tim and his crew need in the next 30 days to upfit their new space. That’s a lot of money!

TWO THOUSAND – The amount I committed this week from ROCK Church to get Life Community started. Pastor Tim has been a friend to me and this ministry. He has prayed for me, opened up their church for our ministry staff to meet and had me minister to their volunteers. I believe in their vision and their ministry. So, it was easy for me to commit on the spot.

? THOUSANDS MORE – On Sunday, May 17th, ROCK Church will receive an additional offering for Life Community Church. Yes, our church will receive an offering for another church in our city. Not because they are in crisis. Not because they are struggling. We are doing it because they are dreaming and going big for Jesus! If they win, we win! ROCKERS, I expecting you to come strong on that day. I am praying and believing for a ridiculously generous offering to bless the people at Life Community.

Tomorrow, I will share some even bigger numbers with you. Until then, why not leave me a comment and tell me some numbers God is using in your life?
