Houghton Baptist
Pastor's Blog
Thursday, May 24 2012
Most of my life as a follower of Christ I have attended various church’s and to many of those years I have spent inside the building. We are called as followers of Christ to go out and make disciples and are called to be the salt and light. We spend so much time trying to bring the lost into the church rather than training our church to leave the comforts of our own building and what is comfortable for us as Christ followers. Too many expect God to just bring them to us and into our building. We need to go where the lost are and bring them into a relationship with Jesus Christ. The lost and the un reached for the most part are outside the structure of the Church. I have been the Senior Pastor for almost a year and I have spent most of my preaching time on having a Kingdom mentality rather than a church building mentality. I encourage the church to leave the comfort of the walls to go reach the people of our community. Mathew 9:36 says “When He saw the crowds, He felt compassion for them, because they were weary and worn out, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” As a Pastor and Leader of Houghton Baptist Church I urge you to be one of the workers and go out into the fields to reap the harvest.
