Untitled Sermon (12)

Why do you exist? What is your mission?

Today we’re doing something very special. We’re talking about DNA. The kind that shapes not the human body, but a church and a people. We’re talking identity today.

Last year, as a congregation we explored together new mission and vision statements that help reflect who God has made us and how He’s shaping us.

What is Mission?

Mission is why we exist. What does the church exist? Why is Leask Gospel Tabernacle here? God’s Word is our final authority on mission.

What is Vision?

Vision is about who we are. Both who we are right now, and who God wants us to be. Again, we need to find this in Scripture, and prayerfully discern how God is leading us and His vision for who we are.

It’s important that we keep those things front and center, because together they remind us how God is leading us, and keep us on track. To that end, over the next three weeks we’re going to talk about why we exist, who we are, and the values we believe God has given to us as believers at Leask Gospel Tabernacle.

Our purpose and identity come from Jesus.
