What does “Gospel-Centered Presence” mean?

You may hear these words spoken often around Sunrise Baptist Church, but what does it mean? A “Gospel-Centered Presence” is a presence centered on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We desire to be a “Gospel Centered Presence” in Whatcom County, wherever we go, with whomever we live, in whatever sphere of influence God gives us. In 1 Thessalonians 1:8 Paul tells them, “For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need not say anything.”

The people of Thessaloniki had become well known as people who were devoted to God and cared deeply for one-another and other believers around the world. This is our desire as well.

Gospel-Centered people live with the reality of the Gospel—Jesus Christ, crucified for the forgiveness of our sins—at the center of their lives.

One of the greatest ways we can have an impact as a gospel centered person is by being authentic and genuine in our love and care for people.  People can smell a fake from a mile away.  But the person who genuinely cares about their needs, is really interested in their kids, wants to truly listen to their story, really longs for them to know Jesus, is absolutely willing to enter into their life circumstances, will not come up short in having an impact in their lives.
