FAREWELL - pt1 - Farewell CONNECT with Rodney Cundiff
-
- Religion & Spirituality
In “Farewell”, Rodney shares some parting words to the New Vision Church congregation in San Antonio, Texas after almost 12 years of leading and pastoring the local church. Farewells are always an awkward mix of memories, emotions, and expressions of love. Rodney shares some words of encouragement and warning as the church transitions its leadership. He reminds them, so many today are in pursuit of titles. They believe that influence, and power comes from the title they have. But, real influence and power is given from the God and people they serve. The apostle Paul reminded the Philippians that they were slaves of Christ, and that every time he thought of them, he thanked God for them. “Unbroken remembrance results in unbroken thanksgiving.” The prayers that are offered up for them are filled with joy as he reflected on their partnership in ministry. Lastly, he was certain that God would continue and finish the good work he had started in them on the day of the Lord’s return. When Jesus returns we will all be amazed at the work that was accomplished for the glory of God’s great name and eternal fame forever.
