The Mission of Focusing on the Mark Ministries

Our Mission
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

We pray that you are encouraged in your Christian walk to drawn nearer to The Lord.
 
The mission of Focusing on the Mark Ministries is to 2 fold.

Our core values are
  • Foundation
  • Discipleship
  • Grace
  • Focus
  • Remembrance
  • Waiting
  • And Jesus Christ
For a full explanation of what we mean by these values please visit our sermon.net channel and listen to the FMM Core Value Series.
 
 
    Here is a brief explanation of our core values (which started when we were only the Devo Blast ministry):

 
Foundation.

We all must have a foundation on which our life is built. It must be on the Rock—Jesus Christ. On this foundation, we cannot be destroyed. It is of upmost importance that the Body of Christ is truly founded on this because everything our lives are built with will be tested with fire. 1 Cor. 3:10-15


Discipleship.

The Lord did not tell us to go get everyone saved, but to disciple the nations (Matt. 28:18-20). We at Devo Blast believe that it is commanded for us to disciple and not merely get people saved and abandon them. Therefore, we place great importance upon mentorship, teaching, and Scriptural study.


Grace.

Grace is the empowering factor of Christianity. Because we can repent and be forgiven, we can live a life thankful for the Lord’s grace. In fact, it is His grace which offers us forgiveness. However, we must be careful not to take the Lord’s grace in vain by irreverently abusing the Lord’s grace as a “go-ahead-and-sin-card” instead of a gift of forgiveness.


Focus.

“Where your focus goes, the power flows.”—Vincent Newfield, a quote from his father
Focus is very important. Matthew 6:33 declares that if we seek the Lord first, He will take care of the rest. We must focus on the Lord to continue to grow and mature.


Remembrance.

We need to remember. It is essential to living a Christian life. Now, Paul declares that he forgets what is behind and strains toward what is ahead. This teaches us not to let the past drag us down; however, remembering what the Lord has done is very important. It builds our trust and confidence in Him and His omnipotence. History is the study of remembering the past.


Waiting.
  
Waiting—we must wait for many things. Scripture declares to ask, seek, and knock, and yet wait on the Lord.  As we wait Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) declares that we will be empowered, we will have our strength renewed. As we live the Christian life, there are many times that we simply must wait. We must wait on the Lord’s direction for many things, such as,   a spouse, daily direction, and major decisions.


Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is what it’s all about—knowing His Spirit and living for Him.
