We have not arrived. We keep dreaming. God is faithful and we must not forget it as we stay faithful to Kingdom work.

Community is essential. We are not called to carry the burden alone. We could not have traveled this path without others carrying the burden.

The Parable of the Mustard Seed and Yeast (Matt. 13:31-35) The Parable of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl (Matt. 13:44-46)

The Parable of the Sower (Matt.13:1-23)

The Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds (Matt. 13:24-30) The Parable of the Net (Matt. 13:47-52)

The missional church understands the relationship between Gospel and Mission, holding both together.

A missional church understands the importance of prayer and practices prayer for the expansion of God’s mission here on Earth.

A missional church emphasizes the gospel of grace and realizes that it is not a ‘boring” doctrine for the insider. Yet, it is the means for a follower to grow in Christ-likeness.

As the Father sent the son, the Son sends His disciples. A missional church affirms that followers of Jesus are people on mission and that missions is a part of everything the community of faith does.

Jesus' prayer in John 17 was for oneness. Jesus was sent to unify His followers.
