Clarify The Purpose of The Church: Why are we here?

Define the Mission of The Church: What are we to do?

Align Our church with the Purpose and Mission of Jesus.

1. The Purpose of The Church, as defined by Jesus: Why are we here:

Matthew 22:37–40 NIV
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.”
(Luke 10:27-37)

2. The Mission of The Church, as defined by Jesus: What we are to do.

Matthew 28:18–20 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.”

FIVE PURPOSES COMMANDED BY JESUS

1. “Love God with all your heart.” Worship
2. “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Ministry
3. “Go...make disciples.”Evangelism
4. “Baptize them in the name of . . .” Fellowship
5. “Teaching them to DO . . .” Discipleship

Jesus’ ministry modeled these 5 purposes:

“I have brought you glory on earth.” (WORSHIP)
“I revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world.” (EVANGELISM)
“I gave them the words you gave me.” (DISCIPLESHIP)
“While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe.” (FELLOWSHIP)
“As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.” (MINISTRY)

The First Christians & Church Did God’s Mission and Purposes.

"Those who believed. . .  were baptized and added to the church. . . They joined with the other believers and committed themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship. . .  they SHARED everything with each other and they worshiped together regularly at theTemple. . .  and met in groups in homes. . .  and everyday the Lord added to their number those who were being saved!" Acts 2:41-47

3. Align Our church (South)  with the Purpose and Mission of Jesus.
