A Statement of Purpose
It is my constant desire to build up the body of Christ. A primary direction will be preaching a positive message that allows the local church to be excited about who they are and the mission they hold. I stress the need for our reliance on the Spirit who dwells in the heart of each and every Christian.
We continue to be Christians under construction as the Spirit molds us. Romans 8:29 allows us insight into the direction God holds for those who are His followers. God has predestined Christians to be conformed to the likeness of His son. As a minister part of my responsibility is to nurture this transformation through timely and appropriate preaching.
In order that the local church function properly each Christian must find his or her place in the body. Each must use the talents God has given them. As a church matures the Christians who make up that body also grow. A mature congregation finds room for all those who worship and work with her. As a preacher I encourage the participation of all members in that body.
The life blood of any church is her ability to reproduce. Unless a church is evangelizing that church is dying. Before any church will evangelize its members must be excited about who they are. Without this excitement we will be nothing more than a loose knit group whose main purpose is self seeking. Through positive motivational preaching bound together with the right example and direction churches can be vibrant and growing. My intent is to build just such a congregation filled with Christians who are willing ambassadors for our Lord and Master.
