Recipients of God’s Measureless Grace

As part of purpose and calling, we are to:

--deeply and truly believe that we are recipients of God’s measureless grace.

--deeply and truly believe that the same abundant grace is something to be shared with those in our midst and in our communities.

--continue to grow into a people who live lives of love in our communities.

We are also to:

--be grateful for our church’s people—even the ones we seem to have less affinity with.

--be grateful for our church’s location/s—God has placed each of our worshipping communities at a particular corner or intersection for a reason—to have influence and to minister in that neighborhood and beyond.

--be grateful for the many ways that God has used our people and our location to reach others.

--be grateful for the myriad ways that God will use us to invite others to know Jesus.

Reflect:

How are you living into these aspects of your purpose and calling?

How is your church doing so?

Imagine how that could be better, with God’s help!
