Real Life Trick Shots 2 | Dude Perfect
https://tinyurl.com/y93ooszh"....a free sandwich, a simple camera, and 20 I-can-do-better-than-you shots later, Dude Perfect was born. Obviously when that first ball swished we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into, but we believe that nothing happens by accident, that God's given us this platform for a reason and that we have an opportunity to make an impact on the lives of countless others around the globe. Above all else, our ultimate goal is to glorify Jesus Christ in everything that we do. We want to use this platform for something much bigger than us....."

'God presents himself in the Bible first of all as the Creator God. He could have begun this story in lots of different ways, but the place he chose to say “human beings, this is who I am, I want you to know this about me first” is here: I am the Creator God. And so the very first chapters of Genesis begin with these unfolding stories of God in action creating out of nothing, bringing into being, stage by stage, day by day everything that is. If you are one who has a greater amount of creativity in you, you have a place at the table of god's people and of humanity. You are valid. Step up. Bring what you've got. Don't you dare hold back. Not cringing back, not with arrogant pride, with sane humility bring your stuff. Other people need it.'

'Work is not primarily a thing one does to live, but the thing one lives to do. It is, or it should be, the full expression of the workers faculties, the thing in which he finds spiritual, mental and bodily satisfaction, and the medium in which he offers himself to God'

Raynor suggests that we ask ourselves 3 questions:
1. What am I passionate about? Identifying passions is key to discerning our calling, we create for the sheer joy of creating. But passion without competence is worthless so next we ask....
2. What gifts has God given me? Now this can take a bit of trial and error and we need to be prepared to fail sometimes here, but eventually we can get to a place where we can honestly assess if the work we are doing is what God has equipped us to do well, if we demonstrate competence that will glorify him and love others and then we look for opportunity by asking.....
3. Where do I have the greatest opportunity to love others? In business terms – what's your market? In sporting terms where is your playing field? In family terms – where are your people at? Aim for the need.

'Called to Create' Book
We were created by an infinitely creative God to reflect his love and character to the world. One way we do that is by continuing his creative work. In this energizing book, serial entrepreneur and bestselling author Jordan Raynor helps artists, entrepreneurs, writers, and other creatives reimagine our work as service to God and others, addressing such penetrating questions as
- Is my work as a creative really as God-honoring as that of a pastor or missionary?- What does it look like to create not to make a name for myself but to glorify God and serve others?- How can I use my work to fulfill Jesus's command to create disciples?- Will what I make today matter in eternity?
To answer these questions, Raynor shares compelling stories from an eclectic group of 40+ Christian entrepreneurs, including the founders of TOMS Shoes, Charity: Water, Chick-fil-A, In-N-Out Burger, Guinness, HTC, and Sevenly, as well as nontraditional entrepreneurs such as C. S. Lewis, Johann Sebastian Bach, and J. R. R. Tolkien. Raynor's "show" rather than "tell," story-driven style makes you feel as if you are sitting at the feet of some of the godliest and most successful entrepreneurs of all time.

Prayer Request or Praise Report
If you have a prayer request or want to tell us about answered prayer, please do so here.
We Value the Power of Prayer
“Supernaturally Transforming Lives and Circumstances”
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” – Philippians 4:6 NIV
As a church we have numerous stories of people who have had prayer answered and seen incredible miracles take place. We have stories of; miraculous healings, miraculous protection from danger and harm, children being born when it seemed impossible, hospitals and orphan’s villages being built in Haiti and many, many more examples that God still answers prayer today and miracles do happen.

Join a Team
“Our Church is not built on the talents and gifts of a few but on the sacrifice of many.” –Brian Houston
The Vine church is as effective as our people. The greatness of our church relies on the heart of our people and their willingness to serve others. Our church functions because ordinary people give their time, talents and energy willingly and cheerfully to serve others.
Joining a team is an excellent way to get connected into the life of our church, make friends and help the church to grow. In fact the growth in health and size of our church depends on every member serving and “doing their own special work”:
“…as each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is growing and full of love.”
Eph.4:16 NLT

Left to Their Own Devices
The internet revolutionised the way that we live our lives.
Digital technology allows young people to develop life skills and build connections in ways previously impossible. Despite this, parents can feel out of touch with their children’s online habits and can worry about their vulnerability online. Not to mention, the worries over the sheer amount of time spent on screens. At Left To Their Own Devices?, speakers Katharine Hill and Philip Jinadu will provide parents with perception-shifting insights into today’s increasingly digital world.
