The phrase "iron sharpens iron" is found in Proverbs 27:17: "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another". There is mutual benefit in the rubbing of two iron blades together; the edges become sharper, making the knives more efficient in their task to cut and slice.The purpose of this podcast is to engage in real conversations with real people with a focus on strengthening and encouraging each other; helping to fortify your life through organic conversations and fellowship.
Welcome back! We were on a short break dealing with work, life and the birth of a baby but we're looking forward to getting back to recording! In today's episode we'll be talking about the Mission of the Church according to the Bible.The Bible gives us three clear examples of the mission of the church:THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH IS TO MAKE DISCIPLESMatthew 28:16-20THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH IS TO GLORIFY CHRIST Ephesians 1:11-12THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH BUILD UP THE SAINTS1 Thessalonians 5:112 Corinthians 13:11We also discuss whether or not church's are still focused on the mission right now. Or are they focused on self-preservation and keeping themselves afloat as a business/non-profit. As we look at opening up the church - are we bold, fearless leaders called to action regardless of the consequences? Or are we stepping back listening to our government leaders and "experts" because we just want to get back to what's "safe and comfortable".Stay tuned and be fortified!
