This sermon launches a new series focusing on our church's mission to fulfill the Great Commission. Pastor Andrew emphasizes that our church exists to help people encounter Jesus, aligning with Christ's command to make disciples of all nations. He introduces a revised mission statement centered on four key words: encounter, experience, join, and equip. This message stresses that it's insufficient to merely acknowledge God's mission—believers must actively participate in it. Like a guitar designed to be played rather than displayed, Christians are called to use their faith actively, not just admire it.
