Impact Devotionals ~ Day One

IMPACTING THE WORLD

Pastor Matt Fry

 

Today we begin 10 Days of Prayer. I am so pumped to see all that God is going to do! Each day you will have a devotional, scripture and a prayer focus. Take some time each day, individually and with your family, to pray and ask God to move in your life and our church family.

These 10 Days of Prayer will also prepare our hearts for the IMPACT Commitment Weekend as we come with our commitment cards of what God would have us to give above and beyond toward the Impact vision. Then the following weekend we will have our IMPACT Celebration Weekend and we will all bring our sacrificial offering for the vision.

Prayer makes a difference!

 

James 5:16, “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”

 

The prayer of a righteous person is POWERFUL and EFFECTIVE!

1. Ask God to CLEANSE you from all sin, 1 John 1:9

2. Ask God to FILL you with His Holy Spirit, Acts 1:8

3. Ask God to use you to make an IMPACT so that together we can see the power and blessings of God, Ephesians 3:20

 

How can we change the world? One life at a time, one prayer at a time, one act of generosity at a time.

 

Prayer Focus: Today pray and tell God that whatever He asks of you, the answer is YES. Pray from your heart to God and make yourself available for Him to use you TODAY.

IT'S TIME TO IMPACT!

 On Vision Sunday I shared the vision for this next season at C3 Church! 

Acts 1:8 says,  But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

Our 3 Focuses:

IMPACT OUR CAMPUS

~ We need to improve our exterior and interior signage to direct people to and throughout our campus as well as make improvements to the technology in our worship center and Now Generation areas.

IMPACT THE 919

~ We pray that we can continue to impact our local communities through Adopt-a-block and our C3 Night Raleigh events.  We plan to launch C3 Church Raleigh in 2015! 

IMPACT AFRICA

~ We are partnering with Children's Cup to adopt the South African village of Mganduzweni, where we will be digging a well for clean water, building a church and sponsoring the children there.

Be in prayer as we prepare for our Impact Commitment weekend on March 20th and 23rd

and for our Celebration Weekend on March 27th and 30th.

I am so excited to see all that God is going to do!  

 

C3 Night Raleigh Recap

What an amazing night we had last week in Raleigh. We had no idea what to expect and God moved beyond what we could imagine. Not only was the Meymandi concert hall filled with people passionate for Jesus, but so many made a fresh start with God. It was truly a celebration of all God has done through our Project 919 but also the beginning of a new season for C3 Church. Special thanks to Lee Chatham, John Cole and the C3 Dream Team for making it such a special night. Get ready for more C3 Nights and let's continue serving the 919!!

Check out this recap video: 

 

C3 Night Raleigh is Tomorrow Night!

I can't believe it's finally here! Tomorrow night at 6:00 & 8:00pm in the Meymandi Concert Hall of Duke Energy Center, we will be celebrating all that God has done through Project919 at our C3 Night Raleigh!

We are so grateful to everyone who has participated and for all the ways we have had the opportunity to bless those all over our community and the 919 area code. 

As we prepare for all that God is going to do, you can jump in and help in these ways: 

1. Pray! If you can, we would love for you to join us this morning 10AM-12PM to spend time in downtown Raleigh praying!  We will meet at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium (by the fountain) at 10AM to pray and then walk through downtown, praying and inviting all to come Sunday night.  

2.Bring a friend. Don't let not having a ticket keep you from bringing a friend.  

3.Get there 30 min early. Most parking is free but there may be a fee if you park in main lot.

4. Don't forget your ticket. Bring any extra that you have.

5. Expect God do something awesome in your life and others!

Can't wait to see you tomorrow! The best is yet to come!

C3 Night Raleigh - One Week Away!

It's almost here - C3 Night in Raleigh is just one week from tomorrow! We have had such an overwhelming response to this celebration that we have added an 8:00pm service in addition to the 6:00pm service. You can still get tickets at C3 Church this weekend or at the Duke Energy Center box office. 

God has done such great things through Project 919, and I know the best is yet to come! 

 

 

C3 Night in Raleigh

 

C3 Night in Raleigh!

In January of this year, I shared at our vision weekend about the vision for Project 919. How God wants to use us to impact the 1.9 million people in the 919 area code. For 8 months we have served in teams and individuals to reach out to the hurting and those in need. For example we've had free oil changes for single parents, Easter egg hunt for special needs, and giving school supplies to area children. You can go to Project919.org and see all of the areas we've served and even the amount... Over 1000 so far!

On September 29 at 6pm, we are going to celebrate in downtown Raleigh at the Meymandi Hall, Progress Energy building. This is an awesome venue that will be filled with people passionate for God and believing for even GREATER things to come! Free tickets will be available beginning Sept 5th. There is limited seating so you will need a ticket to get in. Help spread the word and invite everyone you know in the Raleigh area to join us! 

Haiti Mission Trip

Tomorrow morning a team of 28, including our C3 Leadership College, leave on a mission trip to Port Au Prince, Haiti. While in Haiti, the C3 team will be working with Mission of Hope . MOH has a vision to bring life transformation to every man, woman and child in Haiti through the love of Jesus. Our team will be serving children and families in several villages, as well as helping build and paint new homes for families that are currently homeless. They will also spend time with children in the Mission of Hope orphanages.

Two years ago our Leadership College, along with several other team members from C3, went to Haiti and served with MOH and we are excited to have them return this year to see the fruit of that labor as well as all the progress that has taken place the past two years!

Join me in praying for this team as they go - that God would work through them to show the love of Jesus to the people of Haiti. Also be praying for their protection as they travel and provide real hope for real people in a real world!
