We continue in the mission by remembering in applying the word of God.

Faithful teachers propel the mission of the Church forward, false teachers slow the mission of the Church down.

To be faithful to God's mission, we must be strengthened by the grace and understanding of Christ.

Even though suffering is inevitable, we must persevere in grace to see the mission of the church go forward.
