Committed to Missions
When it comes to Missions, the church has often misread the instructions.
8 In fact, it says, “The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 11 As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” 12 Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him. 13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” 14 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? 15 And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” Romans 10:8-15 NLT
We will be committed to Missions when we:
- Openly declare… Speak up, share, love, about who you believe in
- Live by faith… Romans 10:14-15 & Isaiah:52:7
14 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? 15 And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” Romans 10:14-15 NLT
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns! Isaiah 52:7 NLT
- When we go… Start with your own home. “Go Home” and share in the mission of Christ.
Give- When we give to Missions we allow others to go and share as well.
Pray- We can’t do this on our own. We need the help of the Holy Spirit. We need the help of others.
Next Steps:
- As a disciple of Jesus, we will GO and take the “Good News”
- At home
- At work
- Everywhere we go
- Share in the work of ministry
- Give – Big Give in December to missionaries in other countries to continue to share
THIS IS WHO WE ARE…
as BELIEVERS
as DISCIPLES
as JOURNEY CHURCH MEMBERS
LET’S BE COMMITTED!
