The local church is the hope of the world.

Jesus loves the Church.

The local church moves forward by playing offense, not defense.

Three Traits of Churches that Play Offense:

Clarity (they know who they are and what they’re trying to accomplish)

Care for the poor

Advocate for the overlooked

Equip healthy marriages

Prepare the next generation

Start new churches

Courage (they have the desire to try new things)

Change (they are willing to pivot)

Scripture References:

Matthew 5, verses 13-16

Matthew 16, verse 18
