The Holy Spirit equips an Apostle to initiate a movement

Christ has equipped us for his purposes.

Mission is not something the church does on our behalf, mission is what Jesus Christ sends us out into the world to be.

Prayer draws us to Christ so that we are refocused, reoriented and redirected.

Why do we sing outloud?

Why do we gather for worship?

The sermon is supposed to bore us to death so that Christ can rise within us.

Where do you find your identity?

You are...

The salt of the earth. (Matthew 5:13)

The light of the world. (Matthews 5:14)

Christ's friend. (John 15:15)

A new creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

God's ambassadors. (2 Corinthians 5:20)

God's workmanship. (Ephesians 2:10)

: Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it. (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24)
