With 2 mission team heading out from City Temple this Autumn, to India and to Israel, I was able to profile the importance of mission in last sunday's evening service.
Here are some of my key points:
*GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SENDING GOD...
-He sent His Son to live on earth
-He sent His Spirit to live in the church
-He sends His church out into the world
*IT'S OUR PRIVILEGE TO BE INVITED INTO GOD'S GREAT ADVENTURE OF REDEEMING THE WORLD...
-We've been commanded by Jesus to go (Mark 16.15),
-More and more Christians are being prompted by the Holy Spirit to realise that there is an urgent need to join the final missionary push before the end of the age (Matthew 24.14).
*NOTHING ELSE IS AS IMPORTANT AS JOINING THE ADVENTURE AND PLAYING OUR PART!
-We've all got to PRAY for the success of mission
-We've all got to GIVE to help mission happen
-We've all got to GO on mission, whether that means five miles away of five thousand miles away.
-We've all got to LIVE with a missional outlook
