Jesus is the head of the church so let's see what He has to say. When Jesus was asked what was the greatest commandment he actually gave two answers. Love God with all your heart and also to love people. The last thing Jesus said to his disciples before He ascended into Heaven was, go and make disciples. So I see that the main mission of the church is three fold: To Love God, To Love People and To Make Disciples. The main mission, reason for being of the church should always revolve around one of these three commandments given by Jesus. Is the church, the individual believer living out what it means to Love God, Love People and Make Disciples? If we are not perhaps we need to reexamine what are we doing and what should we be doing. Loving God is worship, Loving People is helping to reconciling them to God, Making Disciples is nurturing and maturing the believer to follow after Christ.
