A Missional Church for the Glory of God

Challenges for being a missional community of believers intentional about making disciples of all nations:

1. By God’s grace, let a fresh vision for the glory and majesty and beauty and supreme worth/value of God in the face of Jesus Christ captivate and re-capture our hearts.

2. By God’s grace, let the spreading of the gospel be the rip-tide that pulls us forward in ministry to our community and beyond.

3. By God’s grace, let the command to make disciples of Jesus dictate our decisions as to the equipping and sending of our members on to the mission field in our communities, at our jobs, with our acquaintances, at our schools, in the grocery store, at the bank—wherever we are.

4. By God’s grace, let us become a house of prayer for the nations praying to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers.

5. By God’s grace, let us become more sensitive to what the Spirit is saying to us as we move forward.

6. By God’s grace, let all our members ask not what the church can do for me, but what Jesus wants to do in me, with me, and through me in the church and for the world.

All of these can flow into a church structure that will help us have a balanced church life in terms of "making disciples".

Just some thoughts.
