What is our Why?

What is the point of church? Why are we involved in planting more churches and sharing Jesus in our community? Why are we sending missionaries across the street and around the world? Pastor Aaron will bring fresh perspectives from a short trip he took to see a church planting movement in the Dominican Republic.

1 John 4:19 (NLT)  We love each other because he loved us first.

Romans 5:8 (NLT)  But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

Matthew 22:35-40 (NLT) 35  One of them, an expert in religious law, tried to trap him with this question: 36  “Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” 37  Jesus replied, “‘You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38  This is the first and greatest commandment. 39  A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40  The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”
