A Note From Pastor Eric
Hello, Violet Baptist Church Family!
As we continue on our mission to Love God, Love Others, and Make Disciples, it is crucial for us to remember the importance of reaching out to our community. The call to share the good news of salvation is not just a suggestion but a command given to us as believers. In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus instructs us to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This Great Commission is not limited to a select few; it is a responsibility that falls on each and every one of us who call ourselves followers of Christ. Our community is filled with individuals who are searching for hope, love, and purpose. They may be our neighbors, colleagues, friends, or even strangers we encounter throughout our day. Reaching our community for Jesus is not just a one-time event or a seasonal outreach event; it is a continuous journey of building relationships, showing love, and offering support to those in need. By being intentional in our interactions and demonstrating the love of Christ through our words and actions, we have the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of those around us. Through our various ministries, outreach programs, and community events, we have the platform and resources to reach out to individuals who are longing for a personal relationship with Jesus. Whether it is through a friendly conversation, a helping hand, or an invitation to church, every small gesture can plant a seed of faith that has the potential to grow into a life-transforming encounter with Christ. Each one of us has the opportunity today to be the light to someone in a world that is so desperately in need of a Savior. I pray that we would all commit ourselves to reaching our community for Jesus with urgency and compassion.
In Christ alone, Pastor Eric
