| Welcome to The Hub |
Hello all, this is the new hub for all Grace Central missionaries. Never thought you would be a missionary? It is time to rethink the term: all Christians are missionaries (Matt. 28:18-20; John 20:21; Acts 1:7-8). We are all called to live and speak the gospel in the cultures we live. Here is a quote worth pondering: "The Pentecost version of community exists for mission, not for itself.
Pentecost community is not held together because people are similar but rather
because they are on the same mission with the same Lord. Because of this,
Pentecost community is marked by a desire to expand God' Kingdom through the
salvation of many diverse people, who are hospitably welcomed to learn about the
greatness of Jesus. People who think with a Pentecost mindset do not see the
building of community in their church as their mission. Rather, they see their
church community as existing solely for God's mission, and they accept that the
only way to have healty community is to pursue God's mission of reaching lost
people because community is an effect of mission but not an effective mission.
God's response to Pentecost missional community is grace and unity through the
Holy Spirit. -M. Driscoll This is our prayer: that as we remain ourwardly focused on our mission, a profound grace-centered and God-glorifying community would grow. We are all co-laborers in this mission. Let us remember that these ministries are not primarly self-serving; they exist for the mission God has for us in downtown Columbus.

This is the hub for Grace Central missionaries.
And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. Ephesians 4:4-16 |
