Before Jesus ascended into heaven, he left his followers with clear instructions about where to go and what to do. His plan was to plant and multiply healthy churches in every town in every country. At Southland, we want to leave the state of Kentucky in better shape than we found it in and we believe the way to accomplish that goal is by imitating what the first followers of Jesus did.

There should be no difference between someone on staff at a church and the members of the church, because everyone’s baptism was their call to ministry. Every believer has a spiritual gift that was meant to strengthen the church and we need to be reminded of our Kingdom responsibilities no matter what occupation we choose in life.

The Son of God took on the role of a servant at his final meal with his best friends. He washed dirty feet and encouraged his followers to do the same for others. There are over 200 titles given to Jesus and all of them accurate and well deserved, but Jesus repeatedly chose one for himself that wasn’t flattering and it was Son of Man.
