Love Our Neighbor

 

The purpose of the Church is to be the hands and feet of Jesus, to join with others whom God added to the church. God’s calling for every believer is to ministry, and the actual success of the ministry is measured by serving and “going” out (Matthew 28:16-20).

 

Followers of Christ are uniquely gifted by the Spirit to minister in their circle of influence, putting hands and feet to the ministry of Jesus today. God’s workmanship becomes evident in the lives of Christians as they step out of their comfort zone and begin to function as the minister that God created them to be. The unique gifts, passions and abilities which are deposited in each believer are given to build up the church and encourage others.
