Basic Training: Our Objective

Business organizations have mission statements by which they operate, and the church is no different. Our objective is to make disciples who make disciples. In 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 we find a church that was effective in fulfilling this objective by responding to the gospel in belief and repentance, by faith that spread everywhere, and by confident hope in the return of Jesus.

Paul follows this theme in 2 Timothy 2 as he instructs Timothy to Celebrate as well as Anticipate in his future ministry.
