For a church to be effective, it must stand FOR Christ and WITH Christ.
(FOR = Who He is | WITH = What He wants)
The church exists to embrace and participate in Jesus' mission.
This involves:
» Believing (The Gospel)
» Identifying (Baptism & Outreach)
» Growing (Knowledge & Practice)
» Serving (Other mindedness)
Gleaning from the seven churches of Revelation 2-3, begins with a glimpse of Jesus.
