Our Mission

"For the son of man has come to seek and save the lost" Luke 9:10

"Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. That was His mission. Jesus said that he did not come to be served, but to serve and to offer His life a ransom for man (Matthew 20:28). In John 20:21 Jesus told his follower that He was sending them just as the Father had sent Him. We are all sent by Jesus to seek and to save those who are lost."
As I was doing my devotional yesterday afternoon This really just spoke to me and It has just been on my mind ever since I read it. I know in the past; Our mission for the church is to go and seek the lost and do missions, also the same for all the bible studies I'm in. I listen to it but I never do it; it seems. I always seem to find an excuse out of it Always. Example: I'm to shy; I don't know how to start the conversation; I don't want it to affect our relationship; I don't want them to look at me different, and you can go on, and on, and on. Well Our small groups on Sunday nights have really encouraged me in to talking in class with my classmates to share the Gospel. I don't really know If some people in my classes even know I am a christian, because I don't talk and just go about my own business. But I'm trying to change that, I'm trying to make conversation. I want to share the truth so that everyone may know about what he has done for us. Its so hard when there's only a small amount of time to talk before and after class. I never really get the chance to bring the subject up and when it has came up in the past I was to timid. Its going to change, I'm going to be brave and share Christ so that the people I care about most will at least know even if they don't except who He is or Why we believe in him for what he did for us. We have a mission field right here where we live. We don't have to go oversees although we still need to do that too. We have people right here that are placed in our job settings, school settings, neighborhoods, etc, primarily to share the Gospel and bring glory and honor to His name. I pray that God will give me Boldness to share his word.
