His Mission -- Our Mission

Assuring Hope
Comfort for Gods People



Matthew 28:16-20 (The Message)
 16-17Meanwhile, the eleven disciples were on their way to Galilee, headed for the mountain Jesus had set for their reunion. The moment they saw him they worshiped him. Some, though, held back, not sure about worship, about risking themselves totally.
 18-20Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: "God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I'll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age."

For Reflection
How do we instruct? Some instruct directly, but most of us  instruct best by living our lives as God has intended us to live.  By devoting your life to God and behaving accordingly, you instruct; perhaps more effectively than those who instruct directly.

Pray
that you are an influential witness to the Holy Spirit in your life.  Pray that those who interact with you are moved by the grace of God which flows through you.
