"The Church's Mission in The Last Days"

Rev. Dr. Stacey M. Cox

Sunday's Sermon: "The Church's Mission in the Last Days"

John 20:19-23

The Book of Revelation concludes with 'Come, Lord Jesus!' (Rev. 22:20). That's the heart-cry of God's people. So, why doesn't He? The Bible's answer is clear: God is patiently waiting and working for the gospel to be declared to every creature, so that the perishing will be saved, and the full number of the elect gathered in (Mk 16:15; 2 Pet. 3:9; Mk 13:27). Why hasn't Jesus returned? Missions is the clear answer to the eschatological question. Sunday, we conclude our series with "The Church's Mission in the Last Days." Join us!

Gospel Shipmates

Gospel Shipmates

 

The ship was an ancient Christian symbol. It was a picture of the church cutting through the sea of disbelief and darkness, the troubled waters of this world, but finally reaching Heaven's safe harbor with the souls of God's redeemed. Question: Which type of ship did early Christians envision the church to be? Did they have a 1st century 'Love Boat' cruise liner in mind or was it a ship of war, a battleship? Mission and mindset make all the difference for the voyage ahead. This was so in the 1st century and holds true today. Make plans to join us Sunday as we explore this important matter!
