Staying On Mission

Marc provided an update on Forward’s plans for a new location and introduced the Opportunity Fund and a season of prayer. We were encouraged to see this opportunity as a call to be God’s people more than a call to a building or location.

Spencer continued our study in Nehemiah. Spencer highlighted and taught about the opposition that is coming to those who pursue God’s mission. We are likely to face external opposition where Satan attempts to sow seeds of insecurity in our hearts. We are also likely internal opposition through dissension, selfish exploitation, or division. Sometimes, we are faced with temptation to be distracted from the mission.

Spencer encouraged us to stay on task and stay on mission through discerning God’s will through prayer and understanding of Scripture. As a congregation, we are settling into these principles for ourselves as we seek God’s mission in Forward City as we pursue our next home.
