To Boldly Go Beyond

BEYOND 10/20/13

Our personal spiritual growth is directly tied to the expansion of God’s cause around the world. Paul understood that as believers grew spiritually it would result in growth both locally (what Paul calls our activity among you) and globally (the regions beyond). If we are truly growing spiritually, then it should result in reaching out to our neighbors, our friends, our family, our community.
And it will also result in a concern for and commitment to reach the regions beyond, the world.

I want us to grasp in our spirit today that like Paul, God has called all of us to go beyond – beyond our concern, beyond our culture, beyond our comfort zone.
