This past week LifeBridge Church produced our 5th Annual Kids Bash. There are so many wins that come out of this event every year, and this year it seemed like the wins were even bigger than previous years.
The biggest win is that more people were added to the Kingdom of God! This is why we do what we do, so that more people might know how incredible God’s love is for them. At the Celebration this past Sunday, many families from outside our church attended, and encountered God in an authentic way.
Another big win is how everyone pulled his or her time, talent and resources together to pull this event off!! It was so encouraging for me to observe how God used so many diverse people with diverse talents partner together to create something so huge!
Kids Bash is a microcosm of how any church should operate on a consistent basis; diverse people with diverse gifting, pulling together to make an eternal impact. Kids Bash is a great model for what our church should be. It’s not just a gathering of strangers on Sunday morning, rather it is a community of people that know and serve each other and the community in such a dynamic way that it becomes the most attractive group in any given city.
In 1 Corinthians 12:7 it says “Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.” Each and every Christ follower has been given an incredible gift to be used in the local church! When every one of us operates in our gifting for the “common good” (reaching people for God), the church (not just ours) can become the most powerful force in Fresno!!
So, let’s celebrate the miracles God did from Kids Bash, but let’s also let it be a model for how we “do church” around here!
I love being your pastor!!
