Over the last five years we have tried very hard to contact with the community, as new people come and join us we need to let all know what community and why we want to connect. In addition it is important to know the process that we as a group of believer’s desire walk down as we continue to build the Kingdom of God. It is this thought process that I want to share for the next several weeks here at WoodsideCommunityChurch. What is the reason to connect to make disciples and once disciples we connect as believers to grow more like Christ everyday.
Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus. – 1 Thessalonians 4
Our Purpose
Connecting to community through Hope, Faith and Love!
Step One: Share Hope
- Why?Ecclesiastes 9:3
It seems so tragic that everyone under the sun suffers the same fate. That is why people are not more careful to be good. Instead, they choose their own mad course, for they have no hope. There is nothing ahead but death anyway. - How?
- Give them the Good News
- Because Christ is our HopePsalm 33:22
Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone.Psalm 42:5
Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again—my Savior and God
Proverbs 23:17-19
Don’t envy sinners, but always continue to fear the Lord. You will be rewarded for this; your hope will not be disappointed. My child, listen and be wise: Keep your heart on the right course
