We Send Our Best

Jesus, when you ascended all that remained were 11 men standing in the middle of the road silently staring at the sky perplexed about what was next. They expected that you would establish your “promised” Kingdom ruling over all Israel. Instead, you handed over a different kind of kingdom that would start in Jerusalem, then extend to all Judea, to Samaria, and finally the entire Gentile world.  You said to those 11 men, “As the Father has sent me, so I also send you” (John 20:21).


You deliberately and precisely made your mission the model for ours. With power given to us by the Holy Spirit you have equipped us and sent us out into this NEW KINGDOM.  


Summit Church, armed with power,  


Be sent to serve Him in daily life, in your workplace, your school, neighborhood, city, state, nation, and world.


Be sent to bear witness of the good news, the gospel, through your words and deeds. Keeping in mind that words without deeds have no credibility and our deeds by themselves, without words, have no eternal impact.


Be sent as bearers of His love and grace.


Be sent to live differently in this world as citizens of God's kingdom.


Church, let us never forget that we are a called people—called for the unmitigated purpose of being sent.

GO NOW………..YOU ARE SENT!
