The purpose of your life as a Christian is to advance the gospel to the ends of the Earth! That is God's plan for His Church! My pastor made this statement last night in his sermon. Do you believe it? If so, it may very well change your life! Some of us will go to far away lands to tell of the hope we have in Christ Jesus! Others will go into the inner cities to share this same hope. Where ever God leads, you can be sure that he is in control of everything.
Matt.24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
My pastor gave us four prayers that he wanted us to pray: O God, give us confidence in prayer. O God make us generous with possessions. O God, grant us joy amidst persecution. O God help us to live in purity. O God, send us out in proclamation.
We are His! Ps.24:1 The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein
He is able: 2 Cor.12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
He is in control: Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. Heb.1:3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high
Lord, there is none like You! We are not worthy of anything except Your judgment. We want to serve, teach us how to love people in Your name. Amen
