Perhaps I have a small case of writers cramp, since I have not posted anything new for some time now. So here I sit at the computer waiting for some type of inspiration to jolt into my brain. Still sitting and waiting. Well here it goes....
At church, we are exploring our identity as church on mission. Since we are to be a place of obedience to God through His Scriptures, we ought to be on mission. Making disciples. Impacting lives. Making a difference. Now don't get me wrong, we are doing some things, but we should be making a greater impact in our neighborhood, state, nation, and world.
Hence we are examining our relationship in accordance with God's Word as to how to make this happen. The two main Scripture verses are Matthew 28:19-20 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. and Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Through these verses we understand that we are to be on mission. Sharing the love of God with others with the express hope that they would turn to Jesus and believe. For this month our focus is on missions: local, state, national, and international. We are offering ways for families to be on mission in a creative way that will also make an impact. Join us in being a church on mission.
