COMMITMENT TO GOD

John 15:4-10 gives us a picture of Jesus speaking to His disciples, stating that they must "Abide in Him."

The word Abide is the word that reflects the idea of commitment.  One must be committed to God, as God is committed to us.

Commitment to God means commitment to the principles and standards of God.

COMMITMENT TO THE WORD

John 15:7, "If ye abide in me, and my word abides in you."

The Word of God, as well as, our approach to effectively communicate the Word of God, must be paramount in our daily lives.

Commitment to the Word means commitment to the principles of the Word.

COMMITMENT TO THE CHURCH

Hebrews 10:23-25 gives us a picture of the writer admonishing believers not to "Forsake the assembling of ourselves together."

Loyalty and active participation in the local body prepares the leader for the task of leading.  It allows the leader to know to whom he/she will be leading.

Commitment to the Church means commitment to Ekklesia Christian Church.

COMMITMENT TO THE PASTOR'S VISION

Jeremiah 3:15, says God has given "Shepherds" (Pastors) after His own heart who will lead you with knowledge and understanding.

Ephesians 4:11-13, gives us a picture of the Order which God has given for the church.

Commitment to the vision of the Pastor means commitment to holding up the standards and direction of the Leader which God has given.
