IF3 is an easy
way to remember our purpose as a church.
It answers the question: Why do we exist?
IF3– Inviting
people to become disciples of Jesus: Fully
connected, Fully equipped, Fully engaged.
The sole purpose
of having a mission statement is
to express in a simple, easy to communicate
statement, what it is that we’re
about.
IF3 captures the two parts of Jesus’ “Great Commission” in
Matthew 28:18-20.
“All authority has been
given to me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make
disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them
to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you
always, even to the end of the age.”
1.He’s
been given all authority, and he promises
to be with us – with that authority.
2.What’s he doing with that authority?
Commissioning his disciples to:
Go out and make disciples. (Invite)
Baptize them into His body. (Connect)
Train them to do everything Jesus had trained them to do. (Equip)
Commission them to go out... (Engage) |
