Salvations
Luke 19:10 “for the son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Jesus was all about salvations and so are we. We must see people born again
How will we do this?
Preaching the gospel which is the power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:16)
Discipleship
Matthew 28:19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”
Salvation is immediate, discipleship is a process or a journey.
How will we do this?
We want to come along beside you and help you in your walk with Christ. We will not leave you all alone but will partner with you as you grow in the Lord.
Community or Fellowship
Psalms 133:1 “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for the brethren to dwell together in unity!. It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down the beard, the beard of Aaron, running down the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord commanded the blessing – life forever more.”
We need each other to succeed in this life. God designed us to feed off of one another and to sharpen one another.
How will we do this?
We will have life groups where believers do life together just like they did in the book of Acts. They fellowshipped and ate in the temple but also from house to house.
Must have the Holy Spirit – the river
John 7:37-39 “On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “if anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” But this he spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.”
The river of the Holy Spirit is vital to the success of the everyday believer.
It should be absolutely normal for the believer to flow with the Holy Spirit and be led by him in every area of life.
How will we do this?
Teaching the whole counsel of God’s Word.
We must normalize the spirit led life. We must normalize the gifts of the Spirit for the believer and the church.
This is our desire.
