The Church: Called to Act
August 16, 2020 • Bishop Keith Cowart
Bishop Keith Cowart reminds us that the church's purpose, even in these times, is to love people, love God and make disciples. He challenges us to think about the following questions: 1. Am I spending as much time in the Word as I am watching my favorite news outlet? 2. Am I as angry at Satan for trying to divide us as I am at those who have a different view on COVID, race or politics? 3. Am I praying for my brothers and sisters in Christ as much as I am talking about them? 4. Am I as passionate about reaching the lost as I am about my view of wearing masks?

Because God loves people who are lost, we love people who are lost. Demonstrated by … personally and corporately focusing time, attention, and resources toward people outside the church locally, regionally, and globally. (Matt. 9:35-38; Acts 1:8; Rom. 10:14-15)

As we review our church's identity, mission statement and core values, Pastor Derrick reminds us that we are called to be an environment of grace. "Because God accepts us and wants to make us whole, we freely extend His grace to everyone. Demonstrated by... modeling mutual acceptance in a way that welcomes the broken, promotes forgiveness, allows freedom to fail, and brings out God's best in everyone."
