The Church on Mission
What are we here for? Without a clear answer to this, we can feel aimless. We need something to focus on, we need purpose and clarity. We need a mission. Organisations are the same - that’s why almost every company has a ‘mission statement. As a church, we are no different! We are here to ‘know and share Jesus, in order to grow and save people.’ Acts 1 sees Jesus personally deliver the church its mission. Their mission is to witness to His resurrection, to the ends of the earth, in the power of the Holy Spirit. The church’s mission is to witness, their message is Jesus’ resurrection, and the means by which they will succeed is the given Holy Spirit. We continue this mission today, and will do so until Jesus returns.
