Can We Imagine?

Can we imagine what will happen if we, as a community of churches, ministries, and business people in Greater Columbia & the Midlands, commit ourselves to togetherness and unity in order to see Christ’s Kingdom expand in our communities?

What will happen if we, those bound together by the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, decide to be one united, inclusive Body of all evangelical churches, ministries and business people rather than exclusive, individual groups?

Can we imagine what will happen if…?
…we seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness in all we do, maintain Holy Spirit enabled relationships, and commit to pursue His will for our communities.

…we seek to exalt Jesus Christ, yield to His supremacy as the Head of the Church, and strive in the power of the Holy Spirit to glorify God the Father as we walk in Christian love and unity for the advancement of His Kingdom.

…we commit to pray regularly for biblical unity, revival, spiritual awakening and transformation in the churches of Greater Columbia & the Midlands, so the Triune God receives the glory!

…we choose to walk together in a Christ honoring way in our communities to spread the Gospel of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, regardless of what it may cost us – true to our promises and just in our dealings; faithful in keeping commitments and exemplary in conduct; and committed to righteousness and justice.

Can we imagine what will happen if…?
…we commit, in a spirit of humility, to communicating to each other what we hear the Holy Spirit is saying to the Church in our city and region.

…we commit to not using our unity and each other to further ‘our’ churches, ministries and personal agendas, but rather to lifting up the name of Jesus Christ to the glory of God as we work together across church, ministry, denominational, and racial boundaries.

Can we imagine if…?
…in view of our mutual concern for the Church of Jesus Christ, we commit to watching over each other in brotherly/sisterly love; remembering each other in prayer; giving aid and comfort in sickness and distress; and cultivating genuine Christian concern for each other in gentleness, slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation, mindful of our Lord’s word to secure and maintain harmony without delay, for His name’s sake. Father, Son and Holy Spirit, what we can only imagine, we know to be both Your holy call to our spirits and Your holy will for our lives. Grant us
grace to joyfully and obediently walk therein.
