Go

By Rev. Charles Haig

Mark 16:15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned

Jesus commands us to go, it should be the exception if we stay. The entire church is called to reach out to the lost.

1) Church with Walls

Keeps us inside the church.

    We wait for the lost to visit us, and dismay when they don't

    We have a 2hr per week Christian experience

2) Church with walls and doors

    We Occasionally venture out to view the World, but feel better in our community.

    We want to meet people, and occasionally talk about Jesus.

    We feel comfortable with people like us, but can deal with other somewhat.

3) Church without walls.

    The New Testatment Church

    Missionary Minded

Reaches out to all Languages, groups, and people.

        Thaddeus and Bartholomew were Jews that had a desire to reach out to the pagan Armenians,

All the world is the vision of Christ.

    Refuses to wait for others to come to church and takes Jesus to them.
