The Mission of Jesus is now our mission! That has been the focus of our Sunday talks at Amazing Grace Fellowship these past 2 months. Interestingly, testimonies shared at our concluding session of this series showed how fulfilling Jesus' Mission in Us is bringing fruit and advancing the Kingdom! So, the Gospel is the BIG THING!
In concluding the series, it was necessary to revisit the Vision Cast for AGF both for today and into the future. Following these and seeing these as priorities will fulfill the DNA of the Ecclesia (church) ... Love God, Love Others and Make Disciples (Matt 22, 28 and Acts 1). So here is the list of 15 Visionary Statements for us here in Bristol and the surrounding communities within Grafton and Belknap Counties:
*AGF WILL:
1- FOCUS ON JESUS’ MISSION AS OUR MISSION (Going Anywhere, To Anyone, Doing Anything So the Lost Can Be Saved)
2- PROMOTE THE KINGDOM MANDATE (by Loving, Serving & Sacrificing for the Sake of the Lost)
3- MAKE CHILDREN A PRIORITY (by NOT Forsaking Babies, NOT Deserting Children, PROMOTING Kids Safe-Zone)
4- AFFIRM JESUS’ MISSION WITH PRAYER (Being Purposeful … Always Seeking Upward)
5- REFUSE TO BE INTROSPECTIVE (by NOT being self-absorbed and Only Looking Inward)
6- MOVE OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY TO MINGLE WITH THE LOST (by Being Jesus in our Society & Culture)
7- DISCIPLE OTHERS MAKING NEW Christ Followers (The Kingdom Gospel with the Good News of Salvation)
8- DISCIPLE NEW Christ Followers (Teaching Them to Live Christ … Planting the spiritual seed toward growth and reproducing)
9- ALL Christ Followers WITH AN IDENTIFIABLE MINISTRY (because Discipleship Involves Serving … New Master – New Lifestyle)
10- UTILIZE DISCIPLESHIP TO TEACH ALL TO OBEY CHRIST (Living For Jesus Means Obedience)
11- HONOR CHILD-LIKE FAITH (Developing an Atmosphere to help Others Learn and Obey the Bible)
12- PURSUE THE LOST WITH JESUS LOVE – By Not Judging Them (Not Seeing them as the Enemy – but Victims of the E.)
13- PURSUE THE LOST WITH JESUS LOVE – By Being with Them (and Genuinely Liking Them)
14- PURSUE THE LOST WITH JESUS LOVE – With Persuasion (So they can Break-Free from Darkness and Be Rescued)
15- ALWAYS MAKE PEOPLE PRIMARY & JESUS FOREMOST (Being Careful to Put Numbers + Social Justice in Perspective)
