We are already halfway there! As we head towards the second half of the year, our leaders thought it wise to bring the three shifts we wanted to make as a community back into view for a halftime assessment. Each of these align with our vision to be an extended spiritual family of diverse Missio Communities who are learning to follow Jesus and equipping others to do the same as they are formed by God, together, for the sake of others. (yeah that’s a mouthful)
So…What were the three shifts again?
Glad you asked. We’ve had some transitions and growth this year, so want to bring back into focus what we started the year aiming at.
We want to be a part of the shift from being welcoming to inviting (and yes still welcoming.) We want to see Missio shift from welcoming people into kingdom rhythms, to inviting them!
We want to be a part of the shift in just Knowing to Obeying. We want to see Missio continue to shift in obeying all that Jesus commanded not just teaching or knowing all that Jesus commanded.
We want to be a part of a shift from being disciples to disciple making disciples. We've spent the last year being exposed to the good news of Jesus- we will be training across the community how we make new disciples who make more disciples as we continue to follow Jesus together.
So how’s it going? Here’s Some reflection q’s:
Shift 1 Questions:
Are you being obedient to the voice of the Spirit as he prompts you to invite people into kingdom rhythms with Missio OR are you finding fear, anxiety, or apprehension have a louder voice?
What could it look like to follow the voice of the Spirit the second half of the year?
Who is already in your life that you could invite to be a part of what God is up to in Missio Mesa?
Shift 2 Questions:
What is something you’ve “unlearned” so far this year? A way of being or behavior that Jesus exposed as counter to his kingdom way of life and you changed as a result?
What is something Jesus invited you into that was uncomfortable or not your, but you followed him in trust anyway?
Who in your MC can you process these internal and external shifts with?
Shift 3 Questions:
Is there anyone you are intentionally apprenticing to the Way of Jesus right now? 1/2 of Missio couldn’t identify anyone at the start of the year, we are prayerfully looking to change that!
Is there someone that the Spirit brings to mind for you to start purposefully discipling in a fresh way this semester? What would obedience to that invitation look like for you?
Do you feel you need equipping as a disciple-maker? Who can you ask for help?
