This is reason 3 of 5 why we do back2school. Last night was amazing as a few hundred
people joined together to prepare over 1,700 backpacks for this weekend’s
outreach.
When churches get together
to work together to impact the community, it really is the big “C” church doing
what God called us to do. It is not
about building a certain minister’s reputation or growing a certain church’s
kingdom. It is about making our Savior
famous by serving those who often can give us nothing in return.
That is just what happened
last night with the backpacks and what will happen this weekend as over 1,300
students and their families come to our place to be blessed. And this is only the beginning there is much
more to come in the days and even years ahead.
These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of
Jesus, and with His brothers.
and they began selling their property and
possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need.
Do nothing from
selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one
another as more important than yourselves;
The divisions that exist among churches are so difficult. Yes, there are things or beliefs that we will
continue to disagree on. But Jesus is
the prime, He is the first and last, He is our salvation and the gift of
God. By choosing as churches to work together
we honor God and do so much more.
Presbyterian. Christian. Methodist.
Baptist. Church of God. Pentecostal.
Fundamental. Conservative. Liberal.
And so many other labels all set aside for a common cause and because
Jesus must be shared with these students and their families.
I pray that more people will join us and more people will find the
reality that our real and lasting and only hope is in Christ alone. Join us for back2school 2016 by serving this
weekend. Join us in making a bigger
impact in our community and far beyond.
