Spiritual Life Theme 2011-12 – Uncommon
The book of Acts unfolds with an amazing story of a small group of people charged with a message that will change everything about everything.
Jesus: "You will receive the Holy Spirit, and you will be my witnesses – to the ends of the earth!"
Through the power of the Spirit, these early believers proclaim the message that Jesus rose from the dead and that life-everlasting is through his name. Turn away from your old lives so that God will wipe out your sin and give you new, never-ending real life!
The call of Christ has not changed. Despite the centuries between the earliest believers and ourselves, we are called to be Christ's witnesses to what we have seen and heard. We are part of the greatest movement in the universe. We share this COMMON call. It is the call of every believer. We are called to testify to the good news of God's grace.
The way we live out this call is UNcommon. Each of us has been given grace and gifts that make us a unique creation. We have a footprint on the Way that is only ours. We have one unique life to live and God has entrusted us with an uncommon way of living it. It is God's gift to us. What we do with it is our gift to God.
We are people of a Common mission, called to live it out in unCommon ways.
You are unCommon.
At George Fox, we have in common that we believe in the call of Christ.
