Outreach.

One of the misconceptions of leaders and members of “churches” is that they believe their mandate regarding the “great commission” is to grow their particular “church” (denomination) they belong to. On the other hand, the Church that Jesus is building, the growing of is by Jesus Himself, for He said, “I will build my Church”. That does not mean that He is going to use His carpenter skills and build His Church out of wood and mortar to create a meeting place and use outreach to fill it, rather it means He will add to His Church people whom He fitly joins together in His Body, the “CHURCH”.

The “church” focused outreach of the different “churches” is reduced to a little more than an endeavor to sell people on what they believe to be the benefits of coming to “church” whatever brand that may be. This reinforces the religious cultural assumption that church is a Sunday event happening! This idea has been woven into the fabric of society due to the religious view of what “Church” is about.

The concept of the religious culture is “church-focused” outreach however, the concept of the “Church” is Christ-focused outreach!
