mission statementWe proclaim [Christ], admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in [him]. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me. Paul, Colossians 1.28-9
what are you doing? how are you doing it? why are you doing it? what is the cost?
We proclaim Christ...
admonishing and teaching...
to present everyone perfect...
struggling with all his energy.
My Master has such riches that you cannot count them; you cannot guess them, much less can you convey their fullness in words. They are unsearchable! You may look, and search, and weigh, but Christ is a greater Christ than you think Him to be when your thoughts are at the greatest. My Master is more able to pardon than you to sin, more able to forgive than you to transgress. My Master is more ready to supply than you are to ask, and ten thousand times more prepared to save than you are to be saved. Never tolerate low thoughts of my Lord Jesus. . . . Come with your great sins, and your great cares, and your great wants! Come, and welcome (Sermons of C. H. Spurgeon of London, Vol. 9, pp. 259). (emphasis added)
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea.
A great high Priest whose Name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on His hands,
My name is written on His heart.
I know that while in Heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
