As I approach the 7th month mark as lead pastor of Velocity Church, I can't help but think about some of the things that have went on. I think about the messages that have been preached, the Bible studies that have been taught, the fellowship that has taken place and the hard work that has been done. Not only my hard work, but the hard work of the congregation of Velocity Church. I think about the time they have sacrificed, the ideas they have come up with, the physical and mental labor that has gone into many events and services. My heart's cry recently has been for them to begin to see some fruit of that labor; to see people come through our doors on a Sunday morning and come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. I know it is all in God's time and His timing is perfect, yet, my hearts desire is to see people added to the Kingdom of God and I know that time is short. At the same time, my prayer is that the people of Velocity Church would "Press On" and know that the harvest is right around the corner.
Philippians 3:12b-14 (NIV) ...but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
