Compelled by Love: Making Christ Known in Word and Deed

How do we live a life of intentional mission?

Matthew 28:16-20
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Colossians 1:13-14
13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Luke 19:10
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.

1. Receive your Kingdom authority.

Matthew 28:18
18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

1 Corinthians 3:16
Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?

2. Remember you have been sent by God.

Matthew 28:19
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

John 20:21
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”

Wherever Jesus went, He lived like He was sent.

3. Recognize you are joining God in what God is already doing.

Matthew 28:20
20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

John 5:19
Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.

God allows us to participate in the process but we are not responsible for the results.

Who has God sent us to?
1. Those nearest us
2. Our neighbors
3. Our workplace

Generosity Prayer:

Father, you are an abundant giver. There is nothing that we have that you have not given us. The way of your kingdom is the way of generosity. Help us to honor you with our resources. Free us from the deceit of riches. Lead us on the path of generosity. For your glory, Lord, for the abundance of our own lives and for the sake of others. In Jesus name, Amen.
