Staying on Mission
Pastor Tim discusses the importance of staying on mission for both individuals and churches. He emphasizes that the core mission of the church is to spread the Gospel and make disciples, as outlined in the Great Commission. He warns against mission drift, where organizations unintentionally stray from their original purpose over time. Using examples like Harvard University and a local food bank program, he illustrates how easy it is to lose sight of the spiritual mission when focusing on good works alone. Pastor Tim urges everyone to ensure that Jesus remains central in all of our activities and outreach efforts. He encourages us to be steadfast, immovable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord, emphasizing the need to verbally share the Gospel message alongside acts of service. Pastor Tim concludes with a call for the church to recommit to its mission and avoid drifting from its purpose.  The sermon notes can be downloaded as a PDF from this webpage.
