Central Baptist Church

Something that we value at Mosaic is involvement.  We desire to see everyone get plugged into the vision of our church.  This should be something that we have in common with every church, but unfortunately it is not.  

I believe that Central Baptist is a church where you can get involved.  There is a lot of changes going on right now and their leadership has a renewed desire to see new people get involved in the ministries of the Church.  Most people look at Central's impressive facilities and think that they are packed with people and that it will be hard to connect.  This is far from the truth.  Central has suffered many years of decline and stagnation and they are now a small church with big potential.  

Pastor Scott Dennis comes from an unchurched background and has a desire to see people who are far from God come to know him.  Pastor Scott has one of the biggest hearts of anyone that I have ever met.  He truly is passionate about seeing people experience what God has for their life.  I think he is a great fit for Central and that we are going to see some great things happen with that congregation under his leadership.  

Not everyone is o.k. with ridiculous videos and John Mayer songs to open up the service.  A lot of people want a blend of modernity with tradition.  Central is a good to church to try out if you are this type of person.  

We may not all share the same preference for style but we should have the same passion for salvations!

where is the feedback?                  11/21/08

 

I was wondering why a lot of people say they read my blog, but no one comments on it. Maybe my readers are just not good with words, maybe their too lazy to comment, or maybe they just don't get technology. Then I was advised by a friend of mine that I had to change the settings because it was currently set to only let registered blogspot users have a say. What a simple thing I was doing to disconnect people from my blog.

 

I think this sums up most churches today.

 

They have a great message, but no one is responding to it. They figure out all the reasons in the world why people are not getting into what they are doing; a liberal culture shift, young people's attention spans, money, etc. They are completely unaware of the fact that they have shut the world out and are only interacting with those "inside". It takes some simple adjustments to change from being a gathering of people focused on self to being a living body that reaches out to a world in need. The message they have is compelling, it is what people are born to hear.

 

The question is whether or not the Church is ready to respond to the world's response to the Gospel.

the reason for world evangelism

In one of my classes, I was asked to give a biblical reason for world evangelism/spreading of Christianity....Here is my post.

The Bible teaches that the Church exists for the glory of God (Ephesians 1: 4-6).  If this is our purpose for being on earth then it is clear that we are to do everything that we can to increase the glory of God on earth.  In fact, Jesus prayed that God's will would be done on earth as it is in Heaven. (Matthew 6:10).  

John Piper says that the ultimate goal of the Church is not missions, it is worship.   

The most compelling verses for world evangelism are the ones that show God's desire for everything that has breath to praise Him (Psalm 150:6).  

Realizing God's desire for His name to be praised, we must spread the Gospel of Christ to all people (Matthew 28:16-20).  

The Gospel of Christ is Good News to those who are perishing!  Us being faithful witnesses of Jesus Christ will bring others to see how GOOD He is!
