Over the years, and I should say decades, First Baptist Church - Emery has
been faithful in supporting missionaries and missions work not only abroad but
also at home. Why? What about missions work is so important that
we as God’s people sense the call to give money, time, and effort towards
missions work? How does the call to
missions affect those reached for Christ and how does that same call affect us?
This week, Dr. Jay Moon from Sioux Falls Seminary will be
bringing us a message from the Lord from Luke 4:16-19 and Matthew
25:34-40. Christ called us through the
Great Commission to make disciples, but what we may fail to realize is that
fulfilling the Great Commission and reaching the marginalized and poor in our
society has a great effect on our own discipleship process. What does this mean? What does this look like? Who are we called to reach? How does fulfilling the call to missions
affect my relationship with Christ and my growth into spiritual maturity? These questions and more will be addressed.
May we prayerfully prepare ourselves for the words the Lord
will be giving to us through Jay this week.
