Message: “September 6, 2020 Honoring Epaphroditus – Developing Deep Relational Connections to Our Missionaries” from Kevin Dibbley

Honoring Epaphroditus – Developing Deep Relational Connections to Our Missionaries Philippians 2:25-30 “Partnerships shouldn’t be based on projects but on personal relationships. Often we’re tempted to think that we need to have our fingers in many places around the world in order to be faithful to the Great Commission. But keeping up with many contacts in many places often results in shallow and ineffectual relationships. In most cases churches would do better to pick a few workers and go deep in their relationship with their work. This kind of focus requires a humble admission that while God is infinite, you and your congregation are not. And it requires the loving discipline to resist overextending your congregation into shallow, feel-good engagements every time you hear about some new opportunity. But the results for the kingdom can be striking when this sort of discipline and focus prevails.” (Andy Johnson)
