Good Monday Morning!

Isn’t it incredible how many miracles Jesus did here on earth? He brought sight to the blind, fed thousands of men and women, calmed the stormy seas, and brought men and women back from the dead. Do you want to know why Christ did these things? It was because He was on a mission and wanted to show people He loved them and wanted them as His own. He served them, and met their needs to see this happen.

If we want to be a missional church it means that we’re going to have to go out into the Metro and love people as Jesus loved them. We’re going to have to go out into the Metro and help people as Jesus helped. No, we’re not miracle workers, but we can meet the needs of people that make them feel safe. Do you know someone who needs their car worked on? Be Jesus, work on their car. Do you know someone who could learn how to cook for themselves? Be Jesus, feed them and teach them how to take care of themselves.

Being a missional church means getting out into the community and being a servant. Jesus massed many followers using this method, and the church in 2011 can do the same.

Prayer for the Week: God in heaven please make me a servant. Open my eyes to the needs around me and show me how to meet those needs and lead these people to Christ. Amen.
