What is your dream for the congregation you attend? What’s the mission of your small group, life group, or house church? So many of us have such short-sighted goals for our congregations and groups. The church at Thessalonica was only a few months old, and the believers’ reputation for sharing their faith had become known throughout the Roman Empire. Now that’s the kind of reputation I want the congregation and groups I work with to have! How about you? “The Lord’s message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia — your faith in God has become known everywhere.” 1 Thessalonians 1:8.
