Lowly, unclean shepherds first heard and saw that the Lamb of God had come and would take away our sins so that all could be restored to God.

As we approach the end of 2016 we wanted to thank our listeners.

All of us sin, but when we sin we should run to God, knowing that the blood of Christ the Lamb of God takes away our sin and secures God’s mercy for us.

This is the second week of Advent where we will be looking out our new series, Behold the Lamb of God.

This is the first teaching from our Advent 2016 series: Behold the Lamb of God.

Every Christian is called to be part of God’s global mission, radically going out with the Gospel, and radically sending others to do the same.

When we remind ourselves of God’s covenant love and forgiveness, it prompts us to a life of worship and loving obedience to our gracious Father.

God calls His people to suffer and sacrifice in order to penetrate new areas with the Gospel.

Our mission strategy is to be empowered by the Spirit for involvement and support in evangelism and mercy ministry, at home and abroad, to both reached and unreached people groups.

To fulfill the Great Commission, we must give special emphasis to reaching those people groups that do not have access to the Gospel at present.
