LOOKING FORWARD – A Note From Pastor Jared
In 2021, North Shelby Baptist Church adopted a multi-phased plan to focus on master development and readiness for our campus and facilities. After completing the Cultural Assessment in the summer of this year, we want to pause and pray.
The assessment, which sought to evaluate our church’s strengths and challenges as well as our overall unity in moving forward, has concluded with the recommendation to enter into a capital campaign as early as October of this year. However, my heart’s desire is for our congregation to seek God’s direction together and boldly pursue it in the new year. Will you join us? This is our call to prayer.
WHEN THE CHURCH PRAYS
In his work on prayer, John Onwucheckwa summarizes the three main petitions that our prayer should focus on as these:
- God’s Honor
- God’s Kingdom Come
- God’s Will Be Done
“When our local churches pray and live in light of these first three petitions, it’s attractive to the watching world because we display a different picture about what God is like. It shows the world how ineffective its kingdoms are. It strengthens our witness.”
Church family, join us daily, as we seek to honor His name, see His kingdom come, and strive to have His will be done in the days ahead.
