Teague Bible Church

Good Morning!
I hope you are the kind of believer who thinks “missional” as you go through your day. We all have a choice here. On the one hand, we can scramble to deal with the next situation in front of us, make no review of it, then on to the next, or we can be “missional” as we deal with each situation, hoping for divine interruptions. We can become activity junkies living with no rhyme or reason, which drains hope, or we can live out of the new life we have in Christ and begin to tie these situations together as one on a quest. What is your mission in life? What has God called you to be? How will that calling affect the world? Are you living just for you and yours, as they say?
As we start into the fall of 2016 to readjust our focus to “mission living,” we need your input. On a personal level to whom are you being “salt” and “light? ” Collectively as a church, what can we do to connect to those who are searching for the real Life that only Christ can give.
Our studies will explore the books of Thessalonians. Not only will we get a clear picture of end time events and our mission in those times, but we will see a maturing church and find out how they stayed on the path to a fullness in living, and the joy of walking with the Lord. I hope you will begin to read the book of Acts and 1st and 2nd Thessalonians, particularly Acts 16 and 17.
You may want to pick up the small book, “Surprise The World: The Five Habits Of Missional People,” by Michael Frost. (Navpress, about 5 bucks.) An easy read and easy to remember. I am amazed at how a little shift in thinking can open the door to an adventure of faith you may never have experienced before. I have been refreshed by knowing that we have all we need, right now, to make a great impact on our community and our friends and relatives. Looking forward to having meetings where we consider the “what if” ideas, inspired by prayer, to change our church, our town, and our world. JWP
