We're on a Mission

Pastor Kevin Rutledge - 1/25/2024

Listen in as we explore the pulse-quickening urgency found within the Gospel of Mark and its implications for the modern church. This week, we highlight Jesus' tactic of sending his followers out into the world, empowering them to spread his message despite their uncertainties—a strategy as relevant now as it was then for our missions and ministries.

As we reflect on the act of sharing the good news, we acknowledge the personal battles with fear, feelings of inadequacy, and the quest for perfection that often hinder us. We discuss the profound importance of fulfilling our mission to evangelize, the joy missed in heaven when we don't, and the transformational power we forfeit on Earth. I emphasize the crucial roles of trust in God, reliance on the Holy Spirit, and the companionship of fellow believers for support. Join us as we reaffirm our commitment to step beyond the church's boundaries, engage with those thirsting for hope, and bring back stories of how we've witnessed God moving through our efforts. Amen.
