What Christians Believe About Their Mission, November Birthdays & Anniversaries (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/1)

Today, we concluded our Christianity 101 series with a message on what Christians believe about their mission from Matt. 28:18-20. Since Jesus has the authority to command us, He tells us to go and make disciples. Jesus is NOT making a suggestion. This is the Great Commission, not the Great Suggestion.

Making disciples includes two components: evangelism and discipling. Evangelism is sharing the Gospel with the aim to persuade. Discipling is helping believers in their spiritual walk to be more like Jesus. It's an intentional relationship in which we invest in the lives of other believers to encourage, equip, and challenge one another to grow towards maturity in Christ. We have everything we need to obey Jesus and make disciples because Jesus is with us. So even when you and I fail at evangelism and discipling, Jesus is still there! Aren't you glad about that? He forgives and restores. Let us repent and get started again.

Happy Birthday to all the November babies.

Happy Anniversaries to our November couples.

Mortgage Burning Ceremony (10.6.24)

This moment represents years of faith, commitment, and sacrificial giving from this congregation. It’s a testament to God’s faithfulness and the dedication of His people. What we are celebrating today is not just the end of a financial obligation, but the beginning of new possibilities for missions, outreach, and service in our community. --- Psalm 127:1 says, ‘Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.’ This building has been more than just bricks and mortar; it has been a spiritual home where so many lives have been touched by the gospel. We recognize that while we’ve paid off the mortgage, it is the Lord who has truly built this house, sustaining us through every season. --- History of the Vision Though this chapter is closing, the mission God has ...
