Love Your Neighbor
Host and Co-Host Meeting this Sunday at 11:45 AM in the Worship Center. This meeting will last 15 minutes.
This Summer we are taking our desire to reach and minister to the greater South OKC Metro from our parking lot to our neighborhoods. Jesus gave us a great command, “to love your neighbor as yourself” (Matt. 22:36-40). We have been asking the question, “What would it look like to do this literally?”. Instead of the Back to School Bash this summer we are asking you to be part of a gospel strategy called Love Your Neighbor. You can find out more by following this link to our website: Love Your Neighbor. Host and Co-hosts have been assigned. They will be asking for others to provide food, canvas neighborhoods, and be on the prayer team. As with all mission efforts it takes the members of the church to go, support, and pray. Every one of us should be doing one or more of these as we attempt the bold move of saturating OKC with the gospel.
We need people to join the Neighborhood Canvasing Teams and Food Teams. You can sign up this Sunday, or see Susan DeMoss, Jennifer Crosby, or one of our pastors to find out how to get involved.
Resolved
“Resolved, not only to refrain from an air of dislike, fretfulness, and anger in conversation, but to exhibit an air of love, cheerfulness and benignity.” (Jonathan Edwards, 1723)
What is ‘benignity’? It is goodness of heart and kindness of nature. I can tell when my mood is a little sour that people do not want to be around me. I don’t want to be around me. We like to be around people who have an air of love, cheerfulness and kindness. In making disciples of all nations it starts with being kind to our neighbors. Love God and love your neighbor as yourself. That is Jesus biblical command (Matthew 22), and it is the ultimate aim of the purpose of our church. Let’s make disciples and start by being kind to those who do not know Christ.
