The world needs more than just the church but the Savior of the church. If the world only experiences the "friendliness" of the church and misses Jesus, then we have failed.
Our emphasis should always be on evangelism and discipleship. We seek for every member to reach one person over the next two years. We know that through our obedience of sharing the faith, our church can double. Each One Reach One is the call upon every follower of Christ. We also know that as we are obedient to this call, we will have to grow our Sunday school and growth group ministries. Leaders will need to be trained and new classes started. How Exciting!
It is sad to know that 103 people a minute die, 6,000 people an hour! Do they know Christ? We want to make sure we reach everyone within our touch with the "Good News." Then we must be willing and organized to help new believers grow in their faith. We must disciple those we reach.
Next Sunday we will talk about the vision for discipleship. It will be very challenging and rewarding as we see the Kingdom of God grow. Our challenge is to follow the scriptures as closely as possible. To live out the gospel on a daily basis.
what about you? Will you remain faithful to the call? Are you "ashamed of the gospel" or do you "glory in the gospel?"
From the Heart,
Pastor BR
