For the past few weeks in our Sunday evening services we have been in the book of Acts as we consider the foundation of the church. In order to be a church of impact in our area we need to be fully devoted to the cause of Jesus Christ.
During this study we have focused on six key lifestyle areas which were clearly evident in the early church. These six values should be a part of Lawson Baptist Church as well. Based on Brian Bill's challenge to the Pontiac Bible Church, here is an overview of our IMPACT statement.
*Instruction in God's Word - we need to get the Word of God into our hearts and our heads.
*Mobilizing for Ministry - We are to use our God-given abilities for ministry.
*Praying with Faith - We are to pray earnestly and expect God to respond.
*Adoring God in Worship - We are to worship God reverently and with rejoicing hearts.
*Caring for other Believers - Show love for those around us by giving of ourselves and resources.
*Telling others the Gospel - Boldly tell others what Christ has done for us.
We are not called to be "Lone Rangers" as Christians. Like the church in Acts 2, we are created to be in community with others. God made us that way. We are called to go into the world to spread the Good News.
