Partner Challenge
This series, like all the others, is God-given and just for us right now! It really came from the realization that there are two strains of people at FV (in general)…we have the people who LOVE to learn & worship, but don’t serve anywhere. And the people who LOVE to serve, but don’t do much learning & worshipping.
They are both forms of The Couch Potato. The Couch Potato Christian becomes useless in the hands of God very quickly, because LOVE TAKES WORK. If you don’t believe me, read the passages below, and come ready to receive what God has for us!
Read:
1 Corinthians 13 (TPT)
Mark 12:29-34 (TPT)
The book of Hosea
This is a tough one, if you need explanation, check here.
The book of Ruth.
Interested passages when God says to stop praying:
Pray for well-rounded, healthy disciples of Christ at FV.
Pray for anointing and vision for our pastors, as they prepare their messages for the church!
August 31 & September 1: Candace, Mark 12:29-34, 1 Corinthians 13
September 7 & 8: Jason
September 14 & 15: Candace
September 21 & 22: Candace
September 28 & 29: EPIC WEEKEND, Eran Holt
Please try to be at this meeting, if possible! We need to go over some very practical roads forward, and I need your input!

WORSHIP THIS MONTH
A great Bible Plan for a brand new believer!
Struggling with how to talk to a friend about baptism? Check out this page!
If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right! Get all the info you need to get the job done well! This month, Sticky Church would be a great read, especially if you lead a small group of any kind!
The “Pathway” is all about intentionally making disciples of Jesus Christ! Most people bounce around and take these steps all out of order—that’s okay! The order is just an “ideal situation” for someone who is brand new to faith, brand new to FV, and assimilating into our church from the outside, in. If you’ve brought a friend to church lately, awesome! Now, help them move through these steps, and become a disciple of Jesus, not just a fan of church.
