Where do we go from here? Jesus’ resurrection victory unleashes man-fearing, defeated disciples to become an unstoppable disciple-maker-multiplying community for all nations and all generations.

A disciple-maker multiplying community transforms…

Biblically ignorant people into fully developed biblical worldview disciples (Luke 24:36-45, John 8:31-32).
Unrepentant and unforgiven people into effective witnesses of the gospel (Luke 24:46-48, Acts 2:22-38).
Self-reliant and self-centered people into a Holy Spirit indwelled and empowered disciple-maker multiplying community (Luke 24:49-53, Romans 8:11).

The success of a local church is not measured by how many are sitting to watch the game, but by how many are in the field playing, and how well they score. Consider this your invitation. Join the team!

Are you a disciple in whom God’s word abides? The word of God is to be received, believed, and lived so that disciple makers can give it to others. You cannot give what you have not received. Make every word of the Bible count for every day.
Have your sins been forgiven? If so, you have a story of God’s grace to tell. Everything the enemy meant for evil, God has overcome with his good. Turn your low points into God’s high points by sharing how his grace has done what you could not do alone.
Victory in Christ is not lived in the power of our self-effort but in the power of the Holy Spirit. Are you walking in the Spirit by resisting the works of the flesh and allowing his fruit to transform your character by obeying his word? (cf. Gal 5:16-25)

In Genesis 1 and 2 God creates a good world with the power of his word. Day by day he shapes the world carving space and time for his creatures. Humanity is his final work, created at the end of the sixth day. Humanity is the last of God’s works. In his kindness, God provided Sabbath for his creatures, king and queen, as a provision to enter into the glory of his magnificent grace. Creation is to be enjoyed and used as a window into the goodness of God’s heart. An instrument of wonder and provision pointing back to that…

The church remains faithful to its God-given calling by standing firmly on God's truth, appointing qualified leaders, and protecting sound doctrine. Once that foundation is laid, how can we remain healthy and continue advancing God's mission for generations to come?

Acts narrates the birth of the Church, sent to the ends of the earth as a movement of disciple-makers who will lead the world in the Word. How can the church remain faithful to its mission in a world that constantly pressures it to compromise?
