The Mission of Jesus: Reach - Sunday, February 5, 2017 - Pastor Steve Brown

Jesus stated that his mission is to reach out to seek and to save those who are lost. Jesus taught this and lived it, as illustrated in his reaching out to the tax collector, Zacchaeus. This was the primary mission of Jesus. It's why he came. Our primary mission as the body of Christ, the Church, is to do the same. How effective are we doing in our mission?  How many people have moved from being lost to being found (saved)? 

 

I believe, as the pastor of St. Luke, that the reformation to which God is calling each of us and our St. Luke family is to become foundationally and organically evangelical, to raise our outreach temperature through changed behavior.

 

After hearing this sermon, we encourage you to write your own personal mission statement that includes reaching the lost and make one change of behavior that will raise your outreach temperature one degree.
