AN INTRODUCTION
WELCOME Hi Friends! I want to personally thank you for attending this "Introduction to The PEACE Plan". I am thrilled that you are here and are considering implementing these key concepts in your church! It is my desire for your life and your church to be blessed by God as we work together to do the unimaginable. Together, let s care about what God cares about most, which is His lost children being found, caring about the least of these and the growth of His church; growing warmer through fellowship, deeper in discipleship, wider through ministry, and extending all around the world through evangelism. That is what God wants. At Saddleback Church, we focus our outreach efforts to do the five things that Jesus did during his ministry time on earth and which we call PEACE. It is our desire to not only do what Jesus did but also to focus on empowering churches around the globe to do the same. Get ready for God to use ordinary people in your church in extraordinary ways! I am so glad that you are here on the very front end of this exciting and world changing adventure.
The great commandments & the great comission Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? Jesus replied: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments. Matthew 22:36-40 (NIV) Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV) Biblical Instruction Love God Love your Neighbor Make Disciples Baptizing Them Teaching Them to Obey Purpose worship serve evangelism (Mission) fellowship discipleship
the mission of god... the worship of God the Mercy of God Everywhere After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb. Revelation 7:9-10 (NIV) The Church has the biblical mandate, the product & process, and the distribution network to finish the task.
