Here
is the mission Jesus gave to His followers: “Therefore go and make disciples
of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded
you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew
28:19–20
What
in practical terms did Jesus say here?
If
we desire to honor God as his church, then we do not want to just “do”
church, we want to BE the church. To truly be God's church as effectively
as possible here at Hopewell (and all churches), we need to understand and
embrace what it means for our church to live God’s mission in all our
communities.
Amen?
