Jesus is building a city. Although our story begins in a garden, it ends in a city. It’s a city where every citizen loves Jesus, his church, his world, his service, and his mission. Scripture shows us that this city will come in its fullness in the future (Rev. 21-22). And while it will be fully unveiled in the future, it is present in our midst. Right now, Jesus is inviting people to be born again and to become citizens of his city, Redemption City. As they trust Jesus as their Savior, Lord, and Treasure, they become citizens of his blood-bought city. And as they live out their citizenship they become salt and light in the cities in which they live (Matt. 5:13-16). Jesus is building Redemption City through born-again citizens, as they love him, his church, his world, his service, and his mission.
So we aren’t just asking you to consider helping us put another church on the map. We’re asking you to help us build a city. Let’s build a city in our city that loves Jesus, his church, his world, his service, and his mission. Let’s show our city what Redemption City will look like. Let’s be a city that loves and serves our city and the cities of this world so that they might meet Jesus.
