Purpose
Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and n Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever! Amen Ephesians 3:30-21
What is the purpose of Peninsula Bible Church? A wise man stated, “It isn’t our job to create a purpose for the Church but to discover them”. Obviously, the place to begin is with the Bible. Through our study of the scriptures we were reminded of three great themes throughout God’s word…
The Great Commandment of Matthew 22:37-40:
The Great Commission of Matthew 28:19-20:
The Great Direction of Acts 2:42:
Although, we’ve identified three specific verses, the themes contained in these passages permeate through the bible and the picture we have of the early Church and are the foundation for our purpose…
To Love the Lord God…
To lead people to faith in Jesus Christ and His Word…
Encourage individuals, marriages and families to obedience and maturity in Christ…
and Equip them to serve the family of believers and the community.
Why is this important to you? God’s Church cannot be built on personalities, buildings or tradition. God’s Church can only reflect the purposes that He has established for His followers. Personalities will come and go…buildings will change…and tradition can sometimes miss the point- but God’s purposes will enable us to bring Glory to His name
