    2 Corinthians 8:11, "Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means."

    Think

    "Fellowship Church is all about Everyone Everywhere Engaging in Eternity!" There are various organizations around the world that require their members to be all in to what their mission is. For example, an orchestra cannot sound the way it's supposed to sound if even one instrument isn't committed to executing their part. Each instrument is unique and contributes to the overall intended sound of the orchestra. The same goes for the body of Christ, all members must be all in to God's purpose for the Church. We all have a special role to play by bringing our various gifts to his house! Everyone has a part to bring to the church – not with equal gifts, but with equal sacrifice. Someone who truly loves God and his house will be eagerly willing to play the part they have been given. This is an eternal mission that we get to be a part of. Do you realize how important YOUR part is to God's mission? You are much more important than an instrument in an orchestra, for God has called you to be an instrument in his hands to make a difference in people's lives!

     

    Act

    Be all in by committing to follow through, as today's scripture says, with your InTense pledge. This isn't a one-time decision, but an ongoing commitment you are making to God's mission for Fellowship Church.

     

    Pray

    Dear God, I thank you for the purpose you have placed on my life. I pray to be eager and all in to the part you want me to play in your Church. Please use my gifts to assure that more people have their eternity set with you. Amen.
