What Happened Next

I had the great opportunity to go across the street a few weeks ago and sit with the principle and simply ask him what we could do to help minister to the families in his school, he gave me what I think are some great ideas and I’ll be working with the missions committee to develop a few of them so we can do them. That’s part of our mission, reaching people for Christ. When we do that then we have a duty to the ends of the earth, right now we do that through our missions giving, but who knows what God has for us in the future. The important thing is that we do it and we do it together. Because reaching people with the love of Christ is the mission of the church all of us. One final passage for the day, in Ephesians 4, Paul quotes Psalms 68:18 saying, When he ascended on high, he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men.” What kind of gifts, spiritual ones, what are they for? Ephesians 4:12, “To prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.” The mission of the church is a mission for all of us. To lead people to know Christ, to help them grow in Christ, and then to go serve Christ.

If you’ve never accepted Him as your savior that is the process we want to help you with today. The one who step out of the grave, the one who is alive today, wants to share His love and grace with you, to erase the guilt of your past, give you a purpose for your future and ultimately bring you to the greatest home of all. Will you accept his gift today?
