Mission

A few weeks ago, we packed 50,000 meals to be sent around the world to hungry people, and we had over 1000 people join us for Hullabaloo, a Halloween alternative for our Tulsa community.

But why?

Did we do it because it made us feel good to help people? Did we do it because we wanted to have a great event for our church family? Or did we do it because it’s part of our Mission of the church?

Over the last few weeks, we have been preaching on this series, “This is who we are. This is what we do,” and this week’s sermon finishes with Mission. Mission is not just something that we do—it is part of who we are. Following Jesus means that we are on mission.

In Matthew 5:14 Jesus says, “You are the light of the world.” This is who we are. We are the light that brings hope to dark places.
