Vision, the church should be… about the Marketplace

We want people to:

Walk into the marketplace to share.
What good is it to have the greatest gift in the history of the world but no one to give it to?

Walking implies going somewhere with intention. We must live intentionally for Jesus.

We want to cultivate a people that will live as messenger/missionaries within their spheres of influence. We want people to connect with others at the grocery store, the park, the mall, the museum, etc. and build real relationships. We want to love others for the sheer joy of showing Jesus’ love without any agenda. After all, His love is life changing on its own merit.

We want people to move out of the comfort of the Christian subculture and share our lives with regular people that haven’t experienced the irregular love of Christ.

We want people to be like Paul in Acts 17:22-34, where Paul goes into one of the most unbelieving areas of one of the most unbelieving cities in one of the most unbelieving countries in the world and shares the good news of Jesus using their own cultural imagery.

We must go outside of the church so that we can live as the church.
