2016 APC Theme Grow Be The Mission Your Purpose & Mission -

Transcription

1 2016 APC Theme Grow In whom (Jesus Christ) the whole building (the church), being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, Ephesians 2:21 (NKJV). The expectation for the Christian is not perfection but rather progression. We can t become what we need to be by remaining what we are; but we can grow into that holy temple God intends... Keep growing, advancing and progressing! Be The Mission Your Purpose & Mission - As His church, APC is more than an organization. We are a living organism with purpose and mission. Each member has purpose and mission. As a believer, not only do you have a God-given mission, but you are the mission. I encourage you to live with this mindset! There is a difference in being on a mission and being the mission. You are an Apostolic believer in church services, during outreach events, and during other church related activities. But you are also Apostolic as you live through your daily routine at home, at work, as a neighbor, at the store, the mall, or the park. Our mission to reconcile the world to Him through His salvation message is not limited to certain events or meetings. Our Apostolic Christianity is a lifestyle. The purpose of His mission was to seek and save that is our purpose. There will be opportunities daily to show and share Christ with others. I encourage you be the mission! Here s the test to determine whether your mission on earth is finished:... If you re alive it isn t! Richard Bach

2 Thank You for Your Prayers! Our family extends a deep expression of thanks for your prayers for the new addition to our family Ms. Reese. Her lead nurse told us we were doing everything we could, all I can say is somebody must have been praying. Her first stop upon leaving the hospital was APC. I carried her into the sanctuary, thanked God, and told Reese, I want to carry you into the middle of the place where so many people were praying for you ; I wanted her submerged in the middle of your faith and prayers (they do linger you know). After Reese s turn-around these were the nurse s words, I don t care what anybody says this girl is a miracle! the sentiments of our hearts exactly! Once again God and His people stepped up! I don t want to do life without God or you, my spiritual family! A blessed pastor, Pastor Willeford St. Louis APC team 1 (Christian, Zion and Liam) placed 2nd in the state of Missouri.
