The ultimate measure of success will be this: a faithful local community that feels like family willingly, courageously, generously, lovingly, trustingly joining together with each other and with those who have gone before us, knowing there are those who must come after us; committing to this ministry for the sake of Christ, for the future of his church, for the future of God’s mission for the world, for the sake of the world. And I cannot think of anything more inspiring or more exciting than that.
From 10:00am service on 8/18/19.
