Faith Community Church Of Hopkinton

Last April, we were shocked when two young terrorists committed atrocious acts of violence that changed people's lives.  As Christians we should be compassionate but not surprised when evil strikes so visiciously.  Christ promised that we would have trouble in the world (even being betrayed by family and persecuted by opponents).  Instead of responding with fear, shock and anger, Christians should be motivated to engage the world with a passionate commitment to mission.  When we surrendered our lives to Christ, we became part of a team dedicated to continuing Christ's work in the world.  Christ came to alleviate suffering, preach the Gospel and provide a means of restoring our relationship with God, our Father.  He calls us to do the same.  In this message, we will talk about the importance of dedicating ourselves to expanding Christ's work in the world around us.
