Ownership Seminars pt 4

Acts 2:47: “And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.”

If you are a Christian, the biblical expectation is that you join a single local church. It may not be Mystery, maybe it’s another church that loves Jesus and preaches the Bible, but we are to become a participant and a provider within a local body. You were not saved to be a consumer.

We invite you to help make Mystery happen. Owning Mystery is a declaration that you are moving from being a consumer to being an investor--that you are joining not simply just the community of Christ, but the whole cause of Christ. It is not what you can receive, but what you can give.

Jesus does not need us for anything, he invites us into participation. Mystery does; however need your help to accomplish God’s calling on our church in this city. We are asking you to own the church rather than simply watching and consuming. We are calling people to ownership; to live sacrificially so people can meet Jesus.
