As we jump into week five of our reading plan, we are introduced to the greatest organization on the planet: the church. Where did the church start? How did it start? Who is the leader? Those questions will all be answered through this week’s reading. The church is not a building as some may suppose, but rather it is made up of followers of Jesus from around the globe. The church universal is broken down into smaller gatherings of people. Journey Church, for example, is a local expression of the church in Raleigh, NC. We are a diverse group of people that have gathered together under one leader, Jesus, to carry out the mission He gave us. As you read today, take special note of the mission that Jesus Himself gave us. How are you doing in carrying out that mission? At Journey, we encourage you to be a missionary where you already are, wherever you live, work, study, play, or shop. Take a minute after you read today to ask Jesus who it is He wants you to love and lead to Him.
