Mother’s Day & The Missional Church

Join us this week as we celebrate Mother’s Day and the significance of the women in our lives who draw us nearer to Christ!

Also, this week we’re going to be looking at the mission and purpose of the church. What makes a church ‘successful’? What does success even mean when it comes to the mission and work of the church?

In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul is speaking into a church full of dysfunction. The list of sins and errors of the Corinthian church is extensive. So, Paul communicates to them about the foundation of what a church is and does.

The church is to be on mission. The church should grow where it’s planted. The strength of the church is that it is One in Christ – and because of this, it is able to have unity in diversity. Each person that makes up an Ekklesia (the Greek word for gathering, assembly, or church) is different, and church functions best on mission when each person is valued and uses their gifts to the fullest. Join us as we remember and celebrate our mission together!
