The Fingerprint Of A Church

We've been talking about how we can uniquely fulfill the Great Commandment and the Great Commission based on where we are, who we are, and the gifts God has equipped us with. Pastor Jared has shared what God has put on his heart as it relates to being an international church, an intergenerational church, and now, a boldly evanglistic church.

The Psalmist says "what we have heard and known, what our fathers have told us, we will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation." The Body of Christ needs to fill the gaps left by the disintegration of families in our culture. We're going to have to reintegrate the generations, even if we have to do it by spiritual adoption. We need the older generation and the younger generation to have relationships, which will take a deliberate commitment on all our parts.

Scripture clearly demonstrates that God not oly created all the nations of the world, but that He has, does, and always will make the salvation of the nations a priority in His work. While God's plan for the salvation of the nations has not changed, the way He carries out that plan has changed, because He's given us unprecedented access to the nations of the world right here where we live.

In this series we take into consideration the fundamentals Jesus taught in the Great Commandment and the Great Commission, but also the unique expressions of how those commandments can be fulfilled in the lives of individuals, and even congregations. God has given us unique personality traits, abilities, resources and influence. Let's consider how we can use them to love Him, our neighbor, and the world.
