The church is not an audience of spectators; we are a fellowship of disciple-makers

Our possessions can be deadly. They can be subtly deadly.

Disciple making also involves teaching people to obey all that Christ has commanded us. Now some might say, "Isn't that what preachers are supposed to do?" And in one sense, the answer to this question is yes. God has clearly called and gifted some people in the church to teach his Word formally. At the same time, he has commanded every follower of Jesus to teach his Word relationally.

A high view of God’s sovereignty fuels death-defying devotion to global missions. Maybe another way to put it, people, and more specifically pastors, who believe that God’s sovereign over all things will lead Christians to die for the sake of all peoples.

The resources of heaven are ready and waiting for the people of God who desire to make much of him in this world

The journey begins, though, with understanding what it means to be a christian. To say you believe in Jesus apart from conversion in your life completely misses the essence of what it means to follow him. Do not be deceived.

It is impossible to be a follower of Christ while denying, disregarding, discrediting, and disbelieving the words of Christ.
