God's Great Commission

As followers of Christ, we've died to ourselves and now live in Christ. After Jesus’ resurrection there is an interesting event which takes place. In John 21:1-17, We read Peter's story and learn about his ministry and what God truly desires in our lives. God desires us to become a part of a ministry of bringing life... Eternal life, to all nations, by living and loving like Christ. Peter's story unfolds to reveal that God's desire in our lives is to follow Jesus and be fishers of men (Matthew 4:19).

We are called to go on mission and use our God ordained desires, gifts, talents, etc. to love others and to bring them the gospel. To bring hope and truth to the unchurched. We are called to give up everything on earth for everything in Heaven, by serving everyone, everywhere.

God did not create us to sit on the sidelines and watch, he breathed life into us so that we would walk to the front lines of His Great Commission. A Great Commission of declaring His gospel and displaying His glory to all peoples of the world. Our call is to actively support our Church and support each other as we live a life of great commission whether that is here at home or overseas. It's a Great Commission that requires us to sacrificially give and care for others.

This is a CALL worth dying for.

This is a KING worth living for.
