“Seek first the kingdom of God” - Matthew 6:33
I am asking everyone here at Gospel to embrace this verse and live with a Jesus First mentality. We are entering a time of increased ministry involvement and evangelistic outreach. During this time of growth it is understood that we will have to make some important decisions. Some of these decisions will include large purchases and building for the future. Undoubtedly we will arrive at some crossroads which we have never encountered before.
Before we arrive at the point of decision, let’s determine to put Jesus and His will before our own desires. Let’s try to see the big picture and not just view things from only one vantage point. We should also attempt to put the interests of others before ourselves (Philippians 2:3-4). And whatever we do, we should not think “small”. Our God can do great things that we can’t even think or imagine. Let’s be careful not to limit our usefulness or effectiveness because of a “small” faith.
When faced with great opportunity, some close their eyes while others retreat. Let’s embrace the challenge before us and glorify the Lord.
Jesus First for His Glory,

Amen
I do believe we have a great God who can do far greater than we can imagine!
So let's keep our eyes on Him, and step out on faith to reach our community and the world with His good news of mercy and saving grace.

That we go into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in. As we are looking at reaching the community let us ask God to make our hearts truly ready for the ones he will have us minister to. People are precious to HIm and we should not neglect those who do not look and act as we do. We should not treat people as a "project" they are precious individules that need love and acceptance. Let us bring them to Christ with a full and loving spirit.
