In this coming year, there are areas to clearly develop in our congregation. As we look to enlist and draw people into our journey in following Christ, we have to make sure that we are not simply inviting them into a ghetto of religiosity, new or old. What matters is the presence of the DNA of Christ's life and ministry. Lives that are intent on purposefully participating in Him.
There are three practical areas which I believe need to be intentionally developed in our lives as witnesses to Christ. We will be focusing on these and implementing ministries to express them:
- good news for the poor
- healing and deliverance
- peace making
This is a clear path for us to follow. Let us pray for wisdom in discerning how to walk it.
