This week, I address the “gospel-centered” aspect. In a very real way, the reason we exist as a convention is the gospel. Sharing the gospel is the mission that unites us.
Being biblically-faithful means that we believe in the sacredness of the Scriptures, we allow them to lead us to Christ, and we rely on the Holy Spirit to give us understanding.
This summer, Haiti has qualified to compete in the FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1974. First Baptist Church Nederland has partnered with First Baptist Church Damien in Haiti, to sponsor watch parties for the three Haitian matches, on June 13, 19 and 24.
Baptists have been known as “people of the book.” It is no coincidence that in every version of The Baptist Faith and Message, the article on the Scriptures is first.
Summer ministry continues! Several churches are doing outreach events around the FIFA World Cup excitement.
May we, as the people of God, focus our energy and attention on the lostness in Texas. This requires us to live out the Great Commandment and the Great Commission as our greatest priority. Let’s live GC2 Strong!
This is the first week of our GC2 Press 13-week Bible Study “GC2 Strong: A Great Commandment Great Commission Awakening.”
During an address to Texas Baptists ministry staff on Monday, June 1, Executive Director Julio Guarneri shared updates on the convention’s ongoing organizational realignment.
Over 500 BSMers have answered the call this year to serve through Texas Baptists Go Now Missions. Some have done so as semester missionaries. Others served during the Christmas break. Approximately 300 are doing it as summer missionaries.
170 students commissioned for summer missions; Baylor BSM sophomore to return to Seattle to serve with Go Now missions following January trip, encouraged by college students’ openness.
