God’s Vision for CHBC: 3 Piers, 3 Pillars, and 3 Purposes
3 Pillars
Last week’s newsletter, Pastor Mark reminded us of the First Pillar of CHBC’s vision statement: Biblically-Modeled. Today, his focus is on what it means that CHBC is committed to be Mission-Minded. The word “mission” is related in the Greek and Latin to the word “apostle.” It has to do with being “sent.” Jesus was sent by God, and Jesus sent out the twelve. He subsequently sent out all believers. Our mission is our “sent-ness.” And we are sent to, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20). There are lots of good things Christian individuals can and should do. What corporately as an organized body of Christ must we be about if we are to faithfully accomplish God’s purposes for us in the world? What is the mission must we keep our collective mind on? Exactly what Jesus said in Matthew 28:19-20.
