Being the Church | Radically Bear His Name

As Jesus was about to be arrested, he prayed for the disciples and what would become the church. In Jesus’ prayer, he reveals what his mission was, to reveal God’s Name. And now he would be leaving his disciples in the world. The job is the same. We are to be, a Kingdom of priests and our job is to present God to the world and the world to God.
Sometimes we are known more for what we are against than what we are for. Sadly sometimes the church is known for very negative things. Yet, all we were to do was to reflect to the world the true nature of our God.
May God help the church, and Trinity Vineyard to bear witness to His Name because He is gracious, compassionate, slow to anger and rich in covenant-keeping love.
