Becoming a Partner in Mission at Mount Tabor

The Apostle Paul states in Philippians 1:3-7, “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Paul spread the good news (gospel) of Jesus Christ to many communities, establishing a network of believers through the early Church. He lifted up the importance of Christian community in furthering God’s realm here on earth. Together, we can become partners in sharing God’s good news as we live into God’s will being done. Partnering with God is a Biblical vision and lifts up a sense of communal responsibility.
