Through the Bible, God has revealed Himself to us. Through the revelation of Scripture—and His ultimate revelation through Jesus Christ—we can see exactly who God is. And when we see Him, we are drawn to worship Him.
Seize the Day: Embracing a Mission with Purpose
Deepening one’s relationship with Jesus is wonderful in itself, but it doesn’t stop there! With that relationship comes a charge, a mission to carry out. It’s a privilege we’ve been given to walk with Christ and take His gospel to our neighbors, our community, and the world. Through the book of Acts, we see the example from the early church of what it looks like to joyously embrace the mission.
I am so excited when we get to gather in small groups to study the Word of God.”
