But most churches then develop a mission statement seeking to reflect the command of Christ as closely as possible.
Rainsville First Baptist Church has set as its mission "Glorifying God by Transforming Lives Through the Gospel and Discipleship."
That statement is a product of many hours of studying Scripture, prayer, Godly men and women speaking truth to each other and sensing the Holy Spirit's leadership.
As a church, we need to be reminded of our purpose and as Pastor, I will seek to do that over the next few weeks as we preach a series of messages "Church on Mission."
This Sunday we will begin where the statement begins by examining the Glory of God. This is an enormous task and one that will take an eternity for us to comprehend, so I will only look at it briefly.
Here is the schedule for these sermons:
This Sunday - The God of Glory
June 2 - Glorifying God
June 16 - Transforming Lives
June 23 - The Gospel
June 30 - Discipleship
Join us this Lord's Day as we come for Sunday School at 9:00 and worship at 10:15. We will also hear this Sunday from Jamie Hutchison who will share his testimony and we will pray over several of our students who are serving this summer at Ponderosa Bible Camp: Ian Martin, Blake Clevland, Katie Hall, Cayson Hall, Collin Hall, and Jasper Ferguson.
I know it's Memorial Day weekend, but if you are in town, come and worship.
