Incarnating the Gospel in the City
This Sunday we kick off the FOCUS ONE campaign. FOCUS ONE is an attempt to boldly live out the implications of the Gospel as a church. It’s about one life, focused for one year, on one message, to make a difference in one city through one person. Show up on Sunday to find out more and know how you can be engaged.
ONE focus . ONE message . ONE year . ONE city . ONE person
“ONE body” (Eph 4:1-16)
Crossbridge is a church committed to community life rather than programs because we believe that there’s no possibility of spiritual growth apart from body life. Without community life the truth of the Gospel cannot be massaged in, in terms of knowledge, relationships and service to the world. Not only that but, one cannot grow closer to God without being close to others. That’s why commitment to a local church and a community group is so important. You cannot participate in the mission of the universal church of Jesus unless you’re plugged into a local body.
“ONE movement” (Acts 19:20 + Luke 10: 1-20)
The difference between a movement and an organization is that in an organization a few create and take initiative while in a movement everybody creates and takes initiative. Because of this a movement is far more exciting. If you read the New Testament you will see that all Christians are called by God to lead. In the Bible, we are all called “kings and priests of God.” This Sunday’s sermon will be a call to send everybody out. We desire that everybody would own The Focus One vision and take initiative to see the Kingdom of Jesus unleashed in our city.
“Getting Down to Business” (Acts 10:24-48)
This Sunday we’ll continue on with our FOCUS ONE series looking at some very practical instructions on how to effectively communicate the Gospel to people around us, family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc… Here’s the heart of what we’ve been going through, talking, learning, and applying these last few weeks: You won’t wanna miss this one!
