Description

What King Jesus expects of his church in 2025: 

I. We will make any sacrifice to become disciples-makers. 

1 Cor 11:1  Imitate me, as I also imitate Christ.

II. We will live life together as followers of Christ as we grow and push back darkness in our community.

Acts 2:42-47  They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.  Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.  All the believers were together and had everything in common.  They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.  Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

III. We will honor a wide range of cultures and styles with our music. 

Psalm 117: 1-2  Praise the LORD, all nations! Glorify him, all peoples! For his faithful love to us is great; the LORD's faithfulness endures forever. Hallelujah!
