FROM THE SEATS
TO THE MISSION
THE NEED Too many believers are not engaged in the great commission of Jesus to go and make disciples. Too many believers don’t even know how to start.
As followers of Jesus, we’ve heard the “golden rule,” loving our neighbors as we love ourselves. Putting this into practice however, has not been the strength of many churches, or believers. This is a symptom of a greater problem of not living out our faith in real ways - of hearing the words of Jesus but not doing them. It is time for the church to move beyond periodic community service projects, or not even being aware of our neighbors, to unlocking the explosive potential of every believer every day. It’s time for more churches to put the basics into action. It’s time to help people to get off the sofa and into the mission of Jesus.
“ Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
Matthew 7:24-27
THE IDEA IS CALLED
A GRACE BOMB is a surprising gift that is meant to brighten someone’s day.
THE MOTIVATION for giving comes from Jesus who first Grace Bombed us with an abundance of love. He is the source and fuel of our giving.
THE PROMPTING to drop a Grace Bomb comes from the Holy Spirit who gently nudges us to give grace to others, to begin pointing them towards Jesus.
AND IS IN ROOTED IN PAUL’S WORDS TO THE EPHESIANS 2:8-10 WHICH IS SUMMARIZED AS: gRACE BUILT PEOPLE, GRACE BOMB PEOPLE.
the tool are Grace Bomb cards that provide us with a reminder and a reason to lovingly disrupt someone’s day. The cards also simply point to an interactive website to utilize for sharing and spurring one another on to love and good works.
the opportunity is to enable the entire congregation to exercise faith at any given moment on any given day - to help them become obedient to Jesus’ calling - to give them training wheels towards the great commission - in fulfilling God’s purpose for their lives.
A SIMPLE TOOL to get moving
THE VISION INFORM THE MIND INSPIRE THE HEART EQUIP THE HAND
EQUIP THE CHURCH Church launches provide core biblical teaching that helps people be fueled by grace and then put that grace into practice with the use of the Grace Bomb card. We also capture and curate the Grace Bomb stories that are shared, to continue to spur one another on to love and good works.
RALLY THE STUDENTS Believers tend to scatter and face many temptations during college. We desire to Grace Bomb college students with regional campus rallies to embolden their faith and empower them to shine brighter in the darkness.
SERVE COMMUNITY LEADERS Many believers desire to make a deeper kingdom impact through their businesses or community organizations, beyond the goods and services the provide. Grace Bomb is a simple way to help achieve this.

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works hebrews 10:24
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. EPHESIANS 2:8-10
