…as we stir up the gracious gift of God- the inner fire that is within us.
Rekindling
*Tolkien, “The Silmarillion”; St.Paul, 2 Timothy 1:6 AMP
Rekindling’s “3-fold Passion”…-rekindling our passion for the Creator of the Universe- leaning heavily on God and dancing with Him through life
-rekindling our passion for everyone else- listening to, encouraging & impacting others
-rekindling our passion for ourselves - living above our circumstances & pursuing our God-given Niche in life.
*Mark 12:29-31, Romans 12:11, 1 John 3:18, Ephesians 4:1
Rekindling’s “The 7-Stage Journey”:
The Atheist: “There absolutely is no God.”
He/she chooses to remain in the physical valley, denying the existence of supernatural waters.
The Agnostic: “Maybe there is a God, maybe there isn’t. I don’t know and/or I don’t care.”
He/she feels there may be something more out there, but it isn’t worth the effort to fully explore the possibilities.”
The Seeker: “I do think God exists, but I’m just not sure which religious boat best sails the spiritual waters.”
He/she chooses to remain on the shore until a final decision can be committed to.
The Believer: “I rely on Jesus Christ as the Boat Captain that will get me to Heaven.”
He/she gives credit to Christ for buying their ticket into Heaven and relies on Him to get through this life.
The Disciple: “I want to pursue Christ wherever He is, including the storms of life.”
He/she chooses to fit themselves into Christ’s Plans rather than fitting Christ into their plans.
The Ambassador: “I want to reflect Christ in everything that I do.”
He/she pursues their God-given calling in life, giving Christ complete credit for it.
The Co-Heir: “I am reigning with Christ forever!”
He/she reaps the rewards of Heaven alongside Christ for the eternity of eternities!
Whatever stage someone is at, we here at Rekindling want to encourage and equip him or her to get at least one stage to the right.
"If you want to build a ship, don't go out and collect a bunch of people and assign them tasks; rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea." -Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Get people passionate about the ocean and they will *want* to build the best boat possible to explore.
In the same way, rather than focus solely on the details of building the Church, we first and foremost explore the majesty of God and then let that awe lead us into the edification of the Church.
