F.O.C.U.S.

Matthew 22:34-40, John 13:34-35, and Matthew 28:18-20 are the life-blood in the life of a servant. They are called: The Great Commandment, The New Commandment, and The Great Commission. Our purpose as God’s body is to serve God is the way He has called us to serve Him. You have purpose in Christ, this church has a purpose in Christ. We must strive to become more like Jesus in our attitudes and behaviors.

The mission has not changed. But the approach to accomplish that objective has changed. You are not the same person you were 10, 20, or more years ago. Red Bank is not the same borough it was 10, 20, or more years ago. Time marches on yet, God’s plans are timeless. His desire to fulfill His word is the same now as it has been from the beginning. He has given you everything you need in His Word.

God’s church must together strive, to find God’s purpose, so that we may be obedient to Him in fulfilling His call to serve Him, One another, and Our neighbors. You can make a difference, you must make a difference. God is counting on you to make a difference.

Let us focus on the race ahead of us, and be reminded of what we are called to do as believers. Please consider the following as a personal mission statement: 
 I will be:
Faithful in Worship
Offering Discipleship
Caring Ministry
Unity in Fellowship
Sharing Christ in Mission

The Faithful, Offering Caring Unity in Sharing Christ! 

Let's keep being that purposeful church God desires. Amen?
