We will not conceal them from their children, but tell to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and His strength and His wonderous works that He has done.
Psalm 78:4


Faith in Action, Legacy in Motion

I recently received one of the best compliments about our church that I have ever received. If I had thought in my head what I want people to experience from us during this phase of our church’s life, I don’t think I could have come up with something better than this. I was told from a visitor that they were impressed with the “humility and excitement” of our church during this project. I was floored!  What a testimony! Humility and excitement are two attitudes that will keep us in line with God’s will. Our attitudes are the core of what we are doing as a church. Take a few moments with me and let’s examine how our attitudes influence our decisions and direction. I want to show you the attitudes that brought us to a place of humility and excitement.
 
Faith and Action
Believing God and trusting God are the keys to everything. That is how you even start your Christian life and that is how it continues. But faith creates action. It has to, otherwise it isn’t faith at all. Seeing you consistently put your faith in action is a blessing to me.

Legacy and Motion
I will always brag on the Legacy of WBC. Not just because I am so thankful for the saints who have gotten us here.  But because this legacy continues on. Some live in yesterday and long for nostalgia. Others forget the past and think tomorrow is always better. But our legacy motivates us to keep moving forward. We are not building museums, monuments or memories. We are building ministry.

Prayer and Responsibility

All of us know the need for prayer. Prayer is our first action not our last resort. But true biblical prayer is always intended to be coupled with responsibility. We don’t just ask God for what we need. We also are asking Him to get what He wants from us.

Gratitude and Goals
In the book of Joshua, Israel is called to advance into the promised land. And in a very real sense they are called to look back and be grateful, look ahead and be focused and look around and be faithful in the present. Our true thankfulness shows itself when we seek to be faithful now and focused on the future.

Humility and Excitement

Along with these other attitudes, here we are. Excited for What God will do and humble before Him. Dependent and expectant!  God help us to maintain that as we seek to Know Him and make Him Know!
Thank you, WBC! Thank you for being a church that I can be proud of. Thank you for being a church that God has called to grow and expand for His Kingdom. Thank you for being a church that God can and will use for amazing purposes.

With much love,
Pastor Brandon
