First Steps – July 30, 2018

When one is baptized they are commissioned to mission and mentoring.  It is also an entrance into a faith community.  Jesus invited disciples to be coworkers with him inside God’s Kingdom that He [Jesus] ushered in.  He promised to be with them as they work and serve.  It has been proven over and over, the best path is when the whole faith community of disciples, who are gathered around the feet of Jesus, teach others his way of life.  It is a corporate effort that yields effective ministry.  As people on the go, we should be imparting the message and life of the kingdom by starting disciple-making communities wherever we are and wherever our travels may take us.

The sign at the door says, “Welcome To The Neighborhood” and “What We Do—We Do Together.”
