"There's no such thing as a Christian who isn't a missionary." All followers of Jesus, we have all been called to GO, bringing the Good News of the Gospel to others. Learn more as we look closer at the Great Commission through Matthew 28:18-20.

What does it mean to be a Christian? Is it about following the moral and ethical rules? Is it being a good person? Learn more from Paul's letter to the Ephesian church about what it means to be "in Christ."

In this episode, Albie follows up Ying Kai's recent visit to Em City by challenging us to think bigger about what God wants to do through us. We continued on in our series through Ephesians by looking at 1:3-14. In this passage, Paul highlights 7 actions that God has taken in salvation.

Ying was given a passion to not only equip every believer to make disciples, but to equip every believer to train others to make disciples. He discovered that most Christians didn’t know the WHY of disciple making, didn’t know WHO to start with, didn’t know WHAT to say, and had no plan for WHEN they would do it. Ying also discovered that when you trained people in the WHY, helped them identify the WHO, gave them simple tools for HOW, and held them accountable for the WHEN, they came alive to participate in the mission of God. 

These simple principles, empowered by the Holy Spirit, led to one of the most amazing movements of God in recent history. Over the course of 10 years almost around 1.7 million people were baptized and 150,000+ churches were planted as a result of Ying and Grace’s efforts.

This week we looked at the concept of being "blessed." According to the New Testament, to be blessed is “to have in your possession every joy and every benefit that your heart needs and longs for.”
