Outreach Leaders

As a work-from-home-mother of a young child, I am raising a screen-time kid. But here are some of my favorite go-to resources for getting things done without relying on screens!

God created us for heaven, but the rebellion of the human race, in which we are all participating, has destined us for hell. Hell, not heaven, is our default destination.

Just before he told of the prodigal son, Jesus said, “There will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.”

A ministry strategy is great. A ministry strategy with continued strategic thinking is even better.  It is possible, and common, for a ministry leader to implement a strategy and then fail to think strategically.

When we pursue peace, our love for others is more than just surface-level platitudes. We invest ourselves emotionally in the pain of our brothers and sisters. We share it and bear it because people won’t care what you have to say until they are convinced you really care for them.

My question is, would I be fully accepted with no judgment and fully welcome and able to serve at Ashland Avenue Baptist Church?

In his very first acts of ministry, Jesus unleashed the power of transformation.

Is your life characterized bymercy, justice and generosity? If not, Zacchaeus would say, “I don’t think you’ve met the same guy I have. There’s no way to encounter that kind of grace and stay the same. There’s just no way.”
