Serving matters in our mission because it was a motivation of Jesus. Jesus came to serve, not to be served. He led by serving. He loved by serving.

FOCUS: own it
October 8, 2017 • Pastor Jack & Pastor Bryan
As we finish up our 'Focus' series around the mission of Elements, tonight we turn toward what it means to 'own' our faith and the mission of this church. It means we keep stepping forward in following Jesus. Owning our faith, isn’t about earning our faith, but it is about authenticating it. (Jesus challenges us to follow - see Luke 9:22-25). We (as The Church) are to OWN our contribution to partnering in the mission as well of His Church as well.
FOCUS: invite

As we begin our series: FOCUS http://...we're looking at the mission of our church and the heart of our culture we want to have as we live it out. We want to be a people who are always INVITING people into next steps of faith and life with us. Truth is: what we care about, we share about. So all through the Scriptures we're encouraged to INVITE and share the Good News that we've discovered and been changed by through Jesus. We don't stockpile God's grace, we share it.
