God is calling us forward in faith! As we celebrate 90 years of God’s faithfulness at Victory Church, we stand at an exciting crossroads. Our church’s journey, always marked by a commitment to people over places, has seen us worshiping in schools, theaters, even a trash company headquarters! This unwavering dedication to reaching others for Christ is woven into our very DNA.
THIS WEEK'S STORY
With our current lease expiring in just four years, I’m confident that God is opening an extraordinary door. Now is the time for all of us to lean on God and take the giant step of faith needed to move forward with creating space for those who need the hope only found in Jesus. We don’t know exactly where this building will be, but through faith we can already see it!
THIS WEEK'S DEVOTIONAL | Week of March 31 - April 6
WE INVITE YOU TO WALK THROUGH THIS PRAYER GUIDE AS YOU ASK GOD WHAT PART HE WANTS YOU TO PLAY IN WELCOME YOUR WORLD.
HOW TO USE THIS DEVOTIONAL: Over the next five weeks, we encourage you to set aside five days per week to read the assigned Scripture and the quote from the book True Riches.* Reflect on what God is saying to you through them. Take time to pray each day for how you can welcome your world into the hope of Jesus in partnership with your local church, Victory Church.
DAY 1
WE ASSUME THAT WE SHOULD GIVE TO THINGS THAT WE CARE ABOUT DEEPLY. RATHER, WE SHOULD GIVE TO THINGS BECAUSE GOD CARES ABOUT THEM DEEPLY.
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8
DAY 2
MY HEART IS OFTEN COLD AND INDIFFERENT TO OTHERS. BUT GIVING IS LIKE A SEED PLANTED IN THE BARREN SOIL OF INDIFFERENCE.
If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? 1 John 3:17
DAY 3
INVESTING IN SAVING THE LOST, SERVING THE POOR, AND STRENGTHENING BELIEVERS IS THE TASK OF THE CHRISTIAN AND THE CHURCH. INVESTING IN THESE TASKS IS AN INVESTMENT IN THE TRUE RICHES OF HEAVEN.
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. Malachi 3:10
DAY 4
THIS IS A LIMITED-TIME OFFER. WHEN YOU DIE, YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO INVEST IS GONE. BUT TODAY, THE DOOR IS WIDE OPEN. YOU CAN TRADE TEMPORARY, EARTHLY DOLLARS FOR ETERNAL, HEAVENLY REWARDS THAT WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER GO AWAY.
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12
DAY 5
THE TRUEST LOVE WE CAN SHOW OUR NEIGHBORS AROUND THE GLOBE IS TO BRING THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW THE GOD WHO MADE THEM AND LOVES THEM.
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12
IMAGINE A FACILITY EQUIPPED TO:
- Welcome our world into an experience with God: A state-of-the-art, 1,000-seat (or more) worship space where even more people can experience the presence of God.
- Expand our ministries: More room to serve families with vibrant children’s programs, our early learning academy, dynamic youth events, and adult discipleship.
- Host conferences, workshops, and regional events: Providing impactful training, leadership development, and unwavering support to churches, nonprofits, and other organizations across our region.
- Offer need-meeting ministries, counseling, and support services: A base for expanded outreach and a safe haven for those seeking the healing, freedom, and guidance only Christ can give.
WHAT ARE WE ASKING YOU TO DO?
FAQs
WHY DO WE NEW FACILITIES?
We want to do everything we can to be inviting to our community. As you know we are blessed with space for our Sunday worship services but we have little room for growth. Our visibility, location and parking area serve as a barrier to people – we don’t want our facility to keep anyone from finding Jesus! We believe we need the right space, designed for today’s culture to do even more ministry. We are not willing to miss any opportunity to reach anyone because of our facility.
WHAT WILL THE IMPROVED FACILITY BE LIKE?
Our new facility will be state of the art. To reach our world we have plans to have the latest technology, an expansive atrium for connection and fellowship, inviting areas for our kids with super-secure check-in and security.
WHAT ARE YOU ASKING ME TO DO?
We’re asking everyone to pray and ask God to help them make a truly generous financial commitment to WELCOME YOUR WORLD. Each of us should ask God if our giving truly represents our desire to place Him before all things. Ask God to help you make the largest single commitment you have ever made to a church.
HOW LONG WILL MY WELCOME YOUR WORLD COMMITMENT BE?
Your WELCOME YOUR WORLD commitment will be for 24 months. Some will give their give all at once, some will give it weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually.
WILL MY COMMITMENT BE KEPT CONFIDENTIAL
Yes! Your WELCOME YOUR WORLD commitment will be handled with confidentiality as all giving at Victory Church is.
