A Letter From Stonecreek's Senior Pastor, Steven Gibbs
We've all seen it. The game is on the line. It could go either way, victory or defeat. Who will raise their game so their team will win? This happens in competitions, and it happens in life. As we learn to walk with God, there are times He will challenge us and ask us to raise our game.
RAISE YOUR GAME is a strategic challenge designed to spark individual initiative and rally collective synergy for the message of Jesus Christ in our lives, families and communities. As we watch North Atlanta continue to expand, we must raise our game in order to be faithful to what God has called us to do - connect with people and lead them into an authentic and growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
As a church, we have consistently listened to God and followed Him the best we can. The leadership of this church appeals to God for wisdom and clarity. So many of you listen and respond to His will with your time, talents and resources through the ministries of Stonecreek. It is time for us to raise our game.
Through RAISE YOUR GAME, our challenge is to give $1,000,000 beyond our regular giving over 15 months. It will require each of us to seek God through prayer, Bible study and conversation. We must submit our minds and hearts to the leading of the Holy Spirit. It will require our generosity and our sacrifice.
This part of the Stonecreek Web site coincides with the printed material, providing you:
- personal prayer guide to help you seek God in what you should give
- exciting details of the RAISE YOUR GAME challenge
- downloadable messages from Sunday morning's RAISE YOUR GAME series.
If you are new to Stonecreek and did not receive a printed guide, you can download a copy of the commitment card to complete and bring with you to an upcoming Sunday worship service.
Join my family and many more families and singles across North Atlanta for this with-God adventure of faith, trust, belief and teamwork. Your team is counting on you. Will you RAISE YOUR GAME?
Thank you for your willingness to give and your commitment to what God is doing at Stonecreek.
Count me in!
Steven
