A Commitment To Multiply
Better Together, Part 4
Helping people come to, and grow, in a saving knowledge of Christ, is at the heart of what we do as a church. The gospel is too good to keep to ourselves. It welcomes anyone who wants to come in, and runs after those who feel left out. As much as we want close communities here at the Crossing, we can’t have closed communities. There comes a point when a group needs to multiply for the sake of reaching more people for Christ.
“Mature believers always welcome anyone who wants to come in, and run after those who feel left out.”
Scripture:
Mark 3:13-19
Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons. These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter), James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means “sons of thunder”), Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
