Clarity

Part 1 – The Nations

Psalm 67

Matthew 28.18-20:  rationale for all we do, resources we draw from

Blessed to Bless

• Most ask for God’s blessing and favor to increase our comfort, heighten our security, and solidify our identity.
• The psalmist asked so that God would be known.
•  Our involvement as a church:

o   8% to CP – approximately $59,000

o   2% to GBA – approximately $15,000

o   2% to HPBC efforts

Witness for Worship

• We don’t just want God to be seen – we want Him to be worshipped.
• God saves and satisfies, and worship is the outcome.

Mission is Mandatory

• Jesus propels us outward to the world.
• Our participation is simply not optional.
