The 7 C's - Commitment

LESSON 3 — COMMITMENT

Commitment breaks the vagabond spirit. Show up like you will be here a hundred years—even if you’re sent elsewhere in six months. We commit to the Lord, His people, His voice, His presence, and our region. We refuse to let disappointment rewrite doctrine; Scripture forms doctrine, not experiences or their delay. Commitment looks like full-hearted presence, grace to learn through mistakes, and loyalty to the house and city God assigned you.

“Even if God has you in a place for six months, operate like you’re going to be there a hundred years.” – Bobby Haaby
