The Gospel and Mission

This week, we ask how the gospel informs missions.  The gospel teaches us that the mission field is everywhere.  God has created the church for missions, and all of us are missionaries wherever we are.  As believers, we are sent as Jesus was to go into the world with the good news of the gospel.   John 20:21 Discussion Questions What do you think of when you think of missions?  Of missionaries?  Do you consider yourself to be sent?  Why or…

The Gospel for Life Itself

Jesus prays for our protection, our joy, our unity, and our dedication while we missionally engage with the world.

Worship

Colossians 3:15-17 This passage helps us to understand the church’s identity. The church is an interconnected relational reality. We are members of a body.

Further, we worship God with gladness when we gather to sing and scatter week by week to advance the mission of the gospel. To view the discussion questions associated with this sermon, please click…
