There’s something exciting about spotting your team’s colors. It reminds you that you aren’t alone but among fellow Tigers, Gamecocks, or Commodores.

That’s what it’s like to be part of the church. No matter where we find ourselves, we are always at home among other believers. 

And just like your love for your school trumps your love of your graduating class, our love for the global church comes before our love for our local church. When we choose to have a kingdom mentality, we worry less about what God is doing in our church and we do whatever it takes to strengthen God’s work in our city, our state, and our world.  

Jesus is building a kingdom today that will last for eternity. We know His best is yet to come, but that shouldn’t stop us from being part of what He’s doing in our communities today.
