Every person and every church has a God-given assignment to fulfill. A life of faith in building towards this assignment becomes a part of our eternal legacy that God will reward. Pearlside Church’s God-given call is to impact not only our city and state but also our nation and beyond. We are a local church with a global impact. In Acts 1:6-8, Jesus directs His disciples to this type of legacy:
"So when they had come together, they asked him, 'Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?' He said to them, ‘It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you will receive power when the HolySpirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.'”(Acts 1:6-8 ESV)
Jerusalem– Where we live
Judea– The region near us
Samaria– Regions around those regions
Ends of the Earth– Nations beyond
The building blocks to accomplish such a legacy is through training new leaders by equipping, empowering, and deploying them into diverse fields of harvest. This will require those of us who call Pearlside home to have a personal stake in seeing the results God has planned for us. Some of us are called to SOW while some of us are called to GO. Together as a spiritual family, we can leave behind a lasting legacy.
