Today is jam-packed filled with kingdom “stuff.” We will attend early Anglo worship; I will teach the Bible class at Iglesia de Cristo. Today is community groups day–spending time with brothers and sisters is always special.
This afternoon I will preach and give a mission report at Fort Gibson. This church is special, near and dear to our hearts. It is hard to believe that 18 years have passed since we completed our ministry there and began our work in Christian higher education. The depth of the relationships that were built is evident in the warmth and hugs we share every time we return. Fort Gibson is definitely one of our ‘home churches’ where we maintain our membership even in our absence.
The Fort Gibson church has a heart for mission work, and has graciously assisted with our mission work in strengthening churches and developing teachers and leaders. I look forward to our return and the opportunity to share the word and what God is doing among his people.
Life in the kingdom is about God and what he makes of us. God works in our lives by his grace. The kingdom mission with which we are entrusted is his mission, not ours. Our first goal is not the mission–our goal is to become like him. Our goal is to make him known as others hear our words and see our lives. Jesus is king in the kingdom–he tells us to teach (disciple) others for kingdom transformation and service.
