in my view (23 oct 2005)

In my view the final test of what we do here at CMP is whether people are coming to know, love and obey Jesus as a result of what we do.
We’ve been using the theme connect@cmp ... with God ... with Self ... with Other to describe this idea and I would ask that you spend time praying on a regular basis for us as a congregation that we would be used by God to achieve these three things.
Imagine a time in the life of CMP when on a weekly basis we have people testifying that they have come to know Jesus for the first time through the ministry of CMP.
Imagine a time when on a daily basis we hear stories of people’s lives being transformed as they walk in deeper obedience out of a deep sense of love for God.
Imagine a time when the community in which we live talks about CMP as the place where people truly love one another and so is a beacon for the love and grace of God.
The truth is, some of this is already happening, but as we continue to reach out to others, this will become a greater and greater reality in the life of our congregation.
May this week we be a blessing to the world in which we live.
