Begin with Prayer | Luke 6:12-16
The Gospel - the Good news of Jesus Christ - is that not only did he come to earth, defeat death, and rise up again so that I may have new life, that I may know the love of the Father. That’s only half of it! Not only is this good news for me, but the second half is that God came to earth for others too. So my job as a Christian is not just to grow closer each day with the Father through Jesus, but then also to be sharing this same Good News with others.
Get Up and Go! | Acts 8-11
Across the country today, hundreds of other churches watched that same video and are having the same conversation around church planting as we are here in the Northwest. We talk about church planting because we know the impact Jesus has had on our lives and we want Jesus to go viral throughout our neighborhoods.
Sharing: God’s Mission Through Us | Matthew 28:16-20 & Hebrews 13:15-16
Outreach, Missions, and Evangelism are often used interchangeably or even incorrectly. They are all words that can be intimidating, but I believe that is largely because we don’t understand them or their role in the fulfillment of the Gospel.
