    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on May 15, 2011
     | 9,990 views

    Jesus was sent by the Father and Jesus then sent His disciples. How does Jesus’ calling connect with the church’s calling? How does God use the unique character of a local church to impact its community for the gospel?

    Let’s consider the purpose of Church at the Mission today? Why are we here? What is the mission of Church at the Mission? Our mission, why we are here and what we should be doing, is not something that we come up with ourselves. Who is the head of this church. It’s not me. It’s not Rick Tobias. ...read more

    We have begun to look at what theologians and church fathers across the centuries have called the "marks" or the "notes" of the Church. Perhaps we can get a fresh look at God's words about the Church.

    Explore the joy of church participation, personal spiritual growth within the church, and the sense of belonging it provides.

    Good morning, dear friends, and welcome!

    Tony Evans said; “Don’t treat church like the Super bowl.” This is what He said: “Millions upon millions of spectators watch the Super bowl. People reorient their lives for three hours and with great intensity watch 21 men on the field go to battle. When the game is over and the winner has been ...read more

    Though the Church is not perfect, we still need the Church, even with its weak parts. This sermon is part of a series on Nehemiah in which the people make a renewed commitment to God. In particular, they make a commitment to the House of God.
