"Our Mission & Constant Prayer" - Jonny Ardavanis
Mission Sunday is a moment to remember what God has done and to look ahead in faith to what He will continue to do. At Stonebridge Bible Church, we begin with gratitude—just as Samuel, Nehemiah, and Paul did—acknowledging that the Lord has been faithful every step of the way and will remain faithful as we move forward. God has provided us with a building, and now we trust Him to provide through the generous hearts of His people as we take the next steps toward building out the space for ministry.
This message centers on our mission and constant prayer: to preach the Bible, equip the saints, serve the body, and reach the lost so that our people, our city, and the world might know and worship Jesus Christ. It reminds us that everything we do as a church is not out of self-determination but out of dependence on the power of the Holy Spirit. From the preaching of God’s Word, to the equipping and discipling of believers, to acts of service and compassion, to reaching those who do not yet know Christ, every part of our mission flows from the heart of God Himself.
As we move into this new chapter together, we do so with confidence that the same God who has helped us “thus far” will continue to lead, provide, and build His church for generations to come.
