- As the church, we are called to gather, grow, give, and go, all for the glory of God.
Are we genuinely using the unique gifts and talents that God has blessed us with to fulfill the Great Commission, which calls us to share the gospel and lead others to Christ? The Great Commission, as described in Matthew 28:16-20, is a command from Jesus to his disciples to spread the teachings of the Gospel to all nations. Or do we find ourselves acting more like a museum, collecting a wealth of valuable knowledge from God’s Word but keeping it confined to ourselves?
My pastor, Jim Supp, emphasizes an important point: as a church, we can sometimes become so focused on our non-essential beliefs, such as specific interpretations of certain scriptures and minor doctrinal debates, that we neglect our primary mission. Instead of engaging in meaningful discussions and spreading the gospel to the lost, we may spend our time quarreling over these trivial matters with other believers, losing sight of the imperative to spread Christ's message.
This serves as a vital reminder of the pitfalls we can encounter if we are not vigilant about our purpose. I invite you to watch this; I hope it encourages you and ignites a passion for outreach in our communities to spread the good news of Christ.
We need to be fishing for lost souls to come to Christ and not just keep what he has done for us for ourselves.
Very wise pastor. Thx for sharing
You're welcome
Amen ❤
God bless you!
Unfortunately, His Church has been deviating from the true Gospel to follow human traditions and false teachings. The true Gospel emphasizes Jesus Christ's resurrection and the importance of keeping His Law which the Holy Spirit helps us follow.
All who carry His name must strive to obey his word and adhering to His Law, which reflects His character. Genuine repentance and acceptance of His Gospel help us know Him better for God is love (1 John 2:3-4). We need to spread the message of his grace to others.
God is The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit-these three are one, the Big Three!
