What We Do
We promote biblical principles for living, working and striving for excellence in all aspects of life for ministries, families and other enterprises in a way that uncovers the mystery of Christ and advances the Kingdom of God.
Advancing the Kingdom
From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it.
“The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John.Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.”Luke 16:16 (NIV)Sharing The Mystery of Christ
We are all made and loved by an awesome and extravagant God!
Ephesians 3:4-6 MessageAs you read over what I have written to you,you’ll be able to see for yourselves into the mystery of Christ. None of our ancestors understood this. Only in our time has it been made clear by God’s Spirit through his holy apostles and prophets of this new order.The mystery is that people who have never heard of God and those who have heard of him all their lives (what I’ve been calling outsiders and insiders) stand on the same ground before God. They get the same offer, same help, same promises in Christ Jesus. The Message is accessible and welcoming to everyone, across the boardRomans 10:12 NIVthere is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on himServing City Gospel Mission
