THE POTENTIAL

Up to this point we have touched on the need, the message, and the mission. In today’s devotional the focus will be on the incredible potential we have as the church to impact our communities when we hold all these things together. 

God’s desire has always been to use the church, his collective people, to be the light to the world and shine brightly in the culture around us. In fact it is when the church takes this seriously that entire cities can be changed. 

Just as we see in the book of Acts, it was the unity and collective drive in the early church that laid the platform for the exponential growth that changed the culture of that day.

Every church, every community of God’s people should take missions seriously. In fact the mission of the church is nothing less than to reveal Jesus to the world. The church exists to go into the cultures and nations of the earth and live sacrificially for the good of others. 

We see God’s desire to bless every person on earth through His people in the Old Testament through His covenant with Abraham in Genesis 22, and this is still His desire today!

You could even go so far as to say the reason God hasn’t just taken every Christian to heaven as soon as they receive salvation is because He wants his people to continue to be a light in the darkness so others may have an opportunity to experience salvation! If you love your city, you will want to partner with your fellow believers and do all you can to overcome its debauchery.

There are approximately 2.3 billion people who identify as Christians in our world. Imagine how much our cities and nations could be changed for good if every person who identifies as a follower of Jesus took seriously the mission and lived a life that demonstrated and shared the love of Jesus to the people around them. 

Just as if you had to light up a dark field, one thousand lights are better than one single light! The same is true for shining the light of Christ into our cities. The potential for real revival and transformation is exponential when we partner together as God’s people, the church!

Thank God for the church!
