Our mission is to make Jesus known. He is the only hope for lost sinners. Only He can redeem dead souls and transform them by the power of His Spirit. Our need for Jesus is no less after conversion than before. Every day we need His grace so that we can defeat sin and live a fruitful life for His glory. Without Jesus we suffer – as individuals, as families, and as a nation. Our church points to Him, for He must increase and we must decrease.
We make Jesus known by our words and actions, testifying to the reason for our hope. Since many despise Jesus it is easy for Christians to retreat to safety. This response is opposite to what God wants us to do. We must make Jesus known. The predominant method is through the preaching of the Word of God and so we invite others to come and hear from God Himself.
