Apostolic Leaders help us see the whole city so we can carry the mission of God into it!
The Apostolic vocation in the church as noted in Ephesians 4 is very important to me personally and vital for the Kingdom of God as it continues to move forward.
What makes the Apostolic vocation extremely important is the fact that it is the primary role in charge of pushing forward the mission of God.
The Apostolic function of the church is responsible for pushing forward the mission of God and designing the way the church carries that out. These are our primary catalysts, visionaries and risk takers in the body when it comes to advancing the mission of God. We need them and we need them fully empowered!
But Apostle is a buzz word these days.
- At the very worst, it is a negative word, associated with crazies who have distorted the vocation and defined it in unhelpful and unhealthy ways.
- At the very best it is being activated day by day as a legitimate vocation in the church and we are seeing the mission of God screaming forward.
However, the majority of people and churches are somewhere in the middle, and they just don’t talk about the Apostolic vocation much. Its just not a word you would find in those people and churches language or leadership.
Well, we are going to talk about it a lot here as you can tell by now!
A New Series Starting
I am going to start unpacking the word Apostolic and helping us to learn a little bit more about what this word and vocation means. Feel free to follow along as I unpack the acrostic APOSTOLIC in the coming days. Each post will focus on a word that is key to the Apostolic vocation.
So do you think you can guess what “A” word I will start with?
