One reason I haven't posted in so long.... April and May were insane! The office was busy getting ready for the Leadership Project, which started May 26th. From making notebooks to scheduling events to organizing information from our students, we had plenty to do!
The theme of our project this summer is "Witness."
What does that mean?...
God is writing the story of creation with a specific purpose in mind and our part in this story is one as a witness. Playing our part as witnesses begins with being image bearers. God created us with a purpose. Genesis 1:28: "Let us make man in our image..." We were created to reflect the image of God before all creation. We were to bear the image of God. Where does this begin? How were we supposed to bear the image of God before all creation? By beholding Him and worshiping Him. As we behold who God is and are led into worship as a result, we begin to reflect the glory of God to the rest of creation.
This leads to the second part of what it means to be a witness. We are not only image bearers of God through beholding him, but we are also message bearers of God as we are led into worship of Him. We will share with others that which we treasure most. If we are beholding God and worshiping God, we will be sharing Him with others.
This theme is what our talks, training, and teaching will center around. The theme verse for the summer is 1 Peter 2:9: "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."
