Four Commitments to Get You Plugged In at Valley View
Part of VVCC’s strategy is to keep moving people
forward by encouraging
personal spiritual commitments. We lovingly challenge people to four basic
commitments toward spiritual maturity and service. . .
THE MEMBERSHIP
COMMITMENT
is a commitment to Christ and the VVCC
family.
"You are members of God’s very own family and you belong in
God’s household with every other Christian." Ephesians 2:19
"We are all parts of it (Christ’s Body), and it
takes every one of us to make it complete, for we each have different work to
do. So we belong to each other and each needs all." Romans 12:4-5
THE MATURITY
COMMITMENT
is a commitment to the habits necessary for growth.
"Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 3:18
"Take the time and trouble to keep yourself spiritually fit." 1 Timothy 4:7
THE MINISTRY
COMMITMENT
is a commitment to discovering and using my God-given gifts and
abilities in serving God and others.
"God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure
to use them to help each other." 1 Peter 4:10
"There are different kinds of service to
God together you are the one body of Christ and each one of you is a separate
and necessary part of it." 1 Corinthians 12: 5, 27
THE MISSIONS COMMITMENT
is a commitment to share the Good News with others.
"You will be my witnesses for me to the ends of the earth."
Acts 1:8
"Always be prepared to give an answer to
everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect."
Peter 3:15 |
