Part 3: Why We’re Here
Think about the amount of energy that gets expended to keep churches, mission organizations and other ministries going. What is it all for? According to Paul, it was to someday present everyone to Jesus complete in Him. We must make that the goal of our ministry. How do we accomplish that goal?
The Sermon on the Mount is often acclaimed (even by non-Christians) as the greatest moral teaching ever presented. It dares us to dream of the world-changing things that could happen if we began to walk like Him.
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
