Every church is called to penetrate their community with the message of God s love in exactly the same way that all of those that have gone before us have. The God that we serve is not any different. With God s help, and His guidance, and His power, we can turn our community and our world upside down as well. I believe that we are called and created to fill our community with the message that God loves them, and that Jesus died for them, and that as they come into relationship with Him he can work a radical transformation in their life. You see the same pattern over and over in scripture.
Someone has a problem of some kind.
Physical, spiritual, emotional, or otherwise, Then, Jesus shows up. He heals them, helps them, connects them to God. The word of what has happened gets out, and Jesus is mobbed. The entire village, country side, region comes out to see who it is that has the power to change lives that were broken, and in pieces. Shattered and hopeless.
