Main Thought
We have been saved for a reason. A big part of that reason is to live out the fullness of life that Christ gave to all who believe. Fullness of life is never experienced by simply living for one’s needs, wants, interests and ambitions. Rather, this God-given fullness of life is truly experienced when you extend beyond yourself and focus on blessing others. We at Every Nation believe we’re called to be Mission-Driven, Multi-Ethnic and Multi-Generational. When we do these things, we’ll be able to bless our city, the nations, and the next generation.
