What does it look like to get ready for a move of God?
Have you ever thought about it?
In our daily lives, the temptation for hustle and bustle is real. Can you relate? Yet, the Scriptures call us to prepare ourselves and expect God to move amongst us. In fact, when the Holy Spirit led great men and women – ordinary, everyday believers – He is always using them to “to go before the Lord… to make ready a people prepared for the Lord”
(see Luke 1:17, think John the Baptist).
So, how do we do this individually and as a church family?
Over the next 5 months, we are aspiring to learn, practice, and pray the ideals of Scripture through a simple paradigm called “The 7 Sails“. “We cannot control when the Holy Spirit moves, but we can raise our sails to catch His Wind when He breathes upon us”. The aim is to learn to hear and obey the Lord amidst our own biological families, cluster groups, Family Reunion and Small Group Gatherings.
– the 7 sails –

JUNE // Raising the 7 Sails: GO
Acts
One Chapter of Acts a Day
Psalm 103:6–14
6 The LORD works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his acts to the people of Israel.
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
10 He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
13 As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.
14 For he knows our frame;
he remembers that we are dust.
Acts 1:8
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Luke 19:10
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
Matthew 9:35–38
35 And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
