THE MISSION

2007 What could God do with a community devoted to His interests?

Israel (~1000BC)

“ Blessed be the Lord your God… because your God has loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness” 2 Chronicles 9:8 - Queen of Sheba

The Early Church (First Century)

“ And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. Nor was there anyone among them who lacked…” Acts 4:33-34 “ Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing the sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.” Acts 5:16 - Luke
