Powerful Purpose


That I might know Christ, and the power of His resurrection - Philippians 3:10

This Sunday we will continue where we left off Easter. The women run quickly from the tomb to share the good news that Jesus is alive! Then Jesus meets the disciples in Galilee and delivers to them what the church refers to as The Great Commission. Go into all the world, make disciples of all people, baptize, and teach.

That sounds like a tall order. How could a handful of disciples possibly take the gospel to all people? There's only one way, and it's by the same power that raised Jesus from the dead! How can we fulfill our life's purpose? Resurrection power. How can Cornerstone MCC fulfill its purpose? Resurrection power! Join us Sunday as we do a little spiritual math: God's capability + our availability = powerful possibilities.

I ask you to spend some time in prayer, listening for answers to these two questions. What is the purpose of my life? What is the purpose of our church? Whatever the answers may be, as long as we stay connected to Jesus, our greatest source of power, we will be victorious in fulfilling God's purpose for our lives and our church.
