has demonstrated perfect and extravagant
love toward them in His Son.
Changing Our World
In all of these things, we are looking for three
“wins.” First and foremost, we want God to
be glori ed and His Gospel to be clearly
proclaimed in word and deed. Our desire
is to saturate our neighborhoods, schools,
businesses, and government with the Good
News of Jesus Christ. Secondly, we desire to
build unity in the body of Christ by serving
together and with other Christ-followers in
our community who are connected to other
Gospel-centered ministries. Lastly, we seek
to “reset the default” within us that ministry
is only for paid professionals. Our greatest
destiny in life is accepting the invitation to
extend God’s Kingdom for His glory.
For example, when we do the “Gas Buy
Down,” the true win is not that we buy
gas for a woman whose husband lost his
job that week or the woman on her way
to a chemotherapy treatment (both are
real examples). The greatest win happens
the next time we are buying gas alone —
without our church there sponsoring an
event — and the Spirit of God prompts
us to reach around the pump and pay for
someone else’s gas and we obey, reminding
them and us of His love. It’s when small
groups decide to provide dinner for the
re ghters at their local station without it
becoming a church-sponsored event, just
something they did to be kind. It’s when a
family adopts a single mom and provides
for her needs all year. It’s when we take gift
bags to restaurant workers not because the
“return on investment” is increased Sunday
morning church attendance, but because we
authentically care for people, and we are
available to respond when God intersects
their lives with ours.
When we see God’s people living
intentionally, we know they are beginning
to understand what it means to be the
Church and extend the Gospel to every
man, woman, and child without them
having to come or go anywhere. It’s then
we know they are beginning to understand
that the Gospel changes everything and
meets every need—spiritual, physical, even
nancial! May God continue to release His
Church to be a people who live for the sake
of others and for His glory and fame!
