Our Great Commission: Ordinary Heroes | 14/09/19 | Central | David Lyon

The rapid growth of the early church was the result of not just the well-known ministries of Peter, Paul, Barnabas, Apollos and others, but also the faithful witness of multitudes who played their part in small, anonymous but vitality significant ways.  As Acts 8:4 puts it: “the followers of Jesus all became missionaries. Wherever they were scattered, they preached the Message about Jesus.” (Msg).  Much as we value our great community, we must never lose sight of our Great Commission.  It hasn't changed, and neither has the way we will fulfil it: these are days for a multitude of ‘ordinary heroes’ to arise and shine - carrying good news wherever we go!  We will never reach the lost from our church buildings or gatherings; we’re to GO into all our worlds.  It’s urgent, it’s simple and it’s do-able!...
