Vision: Developing the Cutting Edge

Key Verse: “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17

Why? The essence of Christianity is to know God and make Him known. (Matthew 22:37-40)

  • Knowing God: dedicated Bible study, reading, and meditation, and prayer.
    • How are you doing in your pursuit of God?
  • Making Him known: to Christians and non-Christians, in our love, actions, and words.
    • How are you doing in loving others as yourself?

Why develop the Cutting Edge?

  • So that we have the “missional edge” (Ooi, 2009), individually, and as a body of Christ, always being ready to give a reason for the hope that is in us (1 Peter 3:15)
  • In spurring each other on and encouraging one another (Hebrews 10:19-25)
  • To run the race set before us, with perseverance, being laser focused on the joy set before us through Jesus Christ (Hebrews 12:1-3)

How do we develop the Cutting Edge?

  • By exposing ourselves to an incredibly sharp sword: God’s Word (Hebrews 4:12)
  • By growing in community, challenging each other, praying for each other, encouraging one another, loving one another, … sharpening one another(Proverbs 27:17)

Applying the Vision

  • Develop our relationship with God and with one another
  • Relationship with God: Prayer and the Bible. Partnering with Bible Study leaders to facilitate solid spiritual growth and equipping CCFers with the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18)
  • Relationship with one another: Investment groups, discipleship groups (1-on-1, 1-n, small group settings), mentorship, subcommittees, small group leader accountability.
  • Unity: Committee – unity in vision / purpose, regular review of leaders’ visions and goals, accountability. Unity of CCF, U of T, and local campuses. Partnering together to develop the cutting edge of the Gospel.
  • Leadership Training: Summer retreat for all leaders (current, future, and interested, at all capacities), other training as needed, continual follow-up
