What Mission is

What exactly is God’s mission?

Matthew 9:35-38
35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness.
36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; 38 therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest.’

Tuesday 27th October

How do we ‘do’ Mission

As Christians what should we be doing?

Ephesians 4:11-12

‘And he gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the Body of Christ.’

Tuesday 10th November

Skills for Mission

What skills do we have and need to engage in mission?

Romans 8:25-28
25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. 26 In the same way the Spirit also comes to help us, weak as we are. For we do not know how we ought to pray; the Spirit himself pleads with God for us in groans that words cannot express. 27 And God, who sees into our hearts, knows what the thought of the Spirit is; because the Spirit pleads with God on behalf of his people and in accordance with his will. 28 We know that in all things God works for good with those who love him, those whom he has called according to his purpose.

Proverbs 3:5–6
‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way’.

Ecclesiastes 8:7
‘None of us know what the future will hold. Only God knows what the future holds and it is our job to trust that he will guide us through what unfolds as it presents itself, whether for the better or the worse.’

Tuesday 24th November

Hope for our Mission

How do we know our mission will succeed?

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future’

Tuesday 8th December
