Sermon for this week:

February is missions month, as Pastor Chuck Franco focuses his sermons on the importance of participating in missionary work, whether it be going, praying, or sending and supporting financially. “A Missionary Church, Part 1” is the sermon for this week.

Matthew 28:16-20 is known as the “Great Commission.” The event takes place after Jesus’s resurrection. He has appeared to many, but now he is with his inner circle, the 11 disciples. Everything he says is of importance to the fulfillment of his mission to redeem lost people and reconnect them with God. He instructs the disciples to share the message and what they have experienced walking with him. He promises to be with them always, even to the end of the age. They had no idea the difficulties and trials they would face when carrying out the mission Jesus gave them, including hardships and martyrdom. But the promise Jesus made gave them purpose and courage, things that modernday missionaries and disciples still depend on.

Bible Study: Session 6 of the Bible study in 1 Peter, “Living Victoriously in a Difficult World,” continues on Wednesday, Feb. 23. The teaching reiterates the commonalities Christians face today with those faced in biblical times. Truth is truth, yesterday, today and forever.
