‘Taste and See that the Lord is Good’

We are a people of vision. We see into heaven and we bring heaven to earth through our prayers, our fellowship and our lifestyle. As well as a people of vision we are also therefore a people of visibility.

We are a people of cosmic and global influence through our visibility and also through our tangibility. The world needs more than words to be saved. It needs to ‘taste’ and to ‘see’ that the Lord is good. The Word was made flesh and He still is: incarnate in you and I – His glorious Church by His Spirit. We can be seen and we can be touched.

Our community life together as the Church is tangible to the world as we meet and eat and share life in each others homes. We are the salt of the world and we taste, smell and feel good to those who recognise their need of salvation.

Our community life together as the Church is visible to the world and to the heavenly powers as we gather together to celebrate our great salvation and lift up the name of Jesus. The world sees the love we have for one-another, our transformed lives, marriages, families and friendships and we look good to those who are being saved.

As we grow into a church of thousands our influence will increase all the more in this city and beyond as our tangibility and visibility also increases. Through us the world will taste and see that the Lord is very good.

Amen
