Commit to the Call

Text: Isaiah 40:1-8

 In our troubled and distracted culture, it is easy to grow complacent and even compromise the call to live for Christ and His glory. The church faces the conundrum of ever-growing aggression towards God’s Word and the integrity and ability of the church to stand strong in its mission of being a light to the world. However, the most serious of attacks is NOT from the outside. We should stand strong in the face of the evils we see today, but let’s first make sure our strong stance as the church is firmly rooted and grounded upon God’s Word. The calling to commit to the church is a clear commitment to the call of holding fast to God’s Word.

Called to Commit: The Church and Its Mission

Text: 2 Corinthians 5:14-21

What is the mission of the church and are you committed to it? Unfortunately, many believers have a difficult time accurately defining the mission of the church. With the many needs in the world, it is easy to look at the church simply as a force for goodwill and good works. Additionally, many believers distance themselves from their role in the mission. The mission, they think, is to be carried out by the pastors, key leaders, and specially gifted personnel. There is good news today. We don’t have to be confused about the mission or our role in it. Jesus clearly defines the mission in Mark 16:15 and clearly describes who is to be involved. If you want to learn more about the mission of the church and your part in it, please be sure to listen today.
