Q: IS THE “MISSION” OF GOD A NEW TESTAMENT?
Q: HOW IS GOD GOING TO REACH ALL THESE BILLIONS OF PEOPLE?
Q: HOW ARE WE GOING TO REACH PEOPLE FOR JESUS? WHERE DO WE EVERY START?
1. GOD’S MISSION = TO FILL THE WORLD WITH HIS GLORY
Gen 1:26-28; Psalm 96; Matthew 28:18-20
2. GOD’S MEANS = SPIRIT-EMPOWERED CHRISTIANS
Acts 1:8
Luke 24:49; John 15:26; Romans 1:16
3. OUR MISSION FIELD = Engaging Our “Jerusalem”
Acts 1:6-8; Isaiah 43
There can be no burden for distant unreached peoples without a burden for unreached neighbors.
A Church on mission…
– EVERY member should be committed to seeking and praying for the salvation of his or her neighbors, friends, family, and co-workers.
– where men and women are equipped to share the Gospel as they talk about their faith and bless the communities around them;
– where there is intentionality in living out and advancing the mission of Christ through making disciples of all nations both here in our local church, our homes, and abroad.
