For this year’s gathering, Uprising will place special emphasis on developing “Life Connection Points” in the pursuit of becoming Standard Setters.
“Life Connections Points” served as a key platform for many Standard Setters in Scripture. Noah and his family had an ark-builders “Life Connection Point” as they stood together to set a standard of God’s heart. Daniel and his friends established standards of godly governance through their “Life Connection Point” as governing cadets of Babylon. Jesus, in preparing the seed for His Kingdom standard, developed a discipleship “Life Connection Point” with the Twelve.
In going beyond the message, music, muse, meals, and ministry of our gathering, we will seek to provide “Life Connection Points” that can take our Standard Setters to the next level. We hope that the “Life Connection Points” will bring about the strength of many great parts connected as one awesome body – as we UPRISE against the patterns of this world and set Kingdom standards through mutual encouragement, accountability, and collaboration.
I would like to invite you to join me on Saturday afternoon (July 2nd) for a “Life Connection Point” session with emphasis for career and pre-career individuals. We will confront issues related to wealth management, singleness, marriage, influencing our work culture, influencing our professional community, committing to the local church body, and other areas that may be burning in your heart. God has a Kingdom standard over all of these areas. In that, we will seek to establish “Life Connection Points” that can bring together the body of Standard Setters – allowing them to testify the blessings of seeking Christ’s Kingdom and righteousness in these areas.
UPRISING against the world’s standards by seeking first Christ’s Kingdom and righteousness is the only path to success. And to be “successful in that success”, we must stand together as one body, the Church. “Life Connection Points” represent our small part in building the body of Standard Setters for seeking the Kingdom. For that reason, we invite you to join us.
