About Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church
-
PILGRIM REST IS A CHRIST-CENTERED MINISTRY, ENDEAVORING THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT, TO BE LIKE A CITY THAT SITS UPON A HILL A BEACON OF HOPE FOR ALL.
IN 2017. WE WILL OCCUPY ALL STREETS!
In 2017, we will endeavor to reach our city in three ways. First, with our labor. I am asking God in 2017 to give each of us a renewed enthusiasm and passion for His Work, His Will, and His Causes. GOD, SET US ABLAZE again as it pertains to our assignments! We can't inspire others if we slothful, lazy or sluggish. You are the salt of the earth but if the salt loses its savor how can it give seasoning? You are the light of the world... Let your light so shine before men... (Matthew 5:13-14,16).
Secondly, we will reach the city with our lips. I am praying for a boldness that will overcome any hesitation or reluctance to mention the name of Jesus and His saving ability to anyone with whom we may come into contact. We are not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of God unto salvation to every man that believes Romans 1:16.
Lastly, we will reach others with our lifestyle. The greatest testimony for Jesus is a changed life. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17). When people met the first disciples they knew they had been with Jesus (Acts 4:13). Let us go into 2017 lifting Jesus high. He said, "If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me" (John 12:32). If the world is to be reached, it will be done with our love, our hands, our feet, and our voices. Now: GO Change the World!
