MINISTRY Matt 20:28/Mark 10:45, "Your attitude must be like my own, for I, the Messiah, did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give my life as a ransom for many." TLB As Jesus, came not to be served, but to serve and to give his life for us all, we must strive in the calling unto which God has called us through Jesus Christ, that we be like him in order to bring souls into the kingdom of God. GAFTC’s purpose to ministry is to build God’s kingdom by administering the gospel of Jesus Christ to both saved and loss souls, as well as through Discipleship, Evangelism, Fellowship and Worship, communion, and feet washing, as did our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, before the feast of the Passover. Through exhortation and edification of ministry, we hope to provoke one another unto love and unto good works. We have been called unto liberty (freedom), set free from the bondage of the law of sin and death to go into the entire world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Not abusing our liberty to serve our self desires, but through the love of Christ, we are to serve one another. Mark 16:15, "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature". KJV John 13:4-5, "He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded." KJV John 13:14-16, "If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. KJVGal 5:13, "For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another." KJV Because this is a church where everybody is somebody, and no one is a stranger here, and most of all, you belong here.
