Moving Forward In the Mission

Moving Forward In the Mission

Paul made three missionary trips around Asia Minor and Greece before traveling to Jerusalem for the Pentecost feast and to deliver some aid to the poor from Gentile cities. From there he would travel even further on. But before he left, he wanted to encourage the new believers in those cities to continue strong in the faith, following after Jesus, because he knew he would never see them again.

Luke’s retelling of this story includes a strange event right in the middle of Paul’s farewell tour; a young boy falling out of a window to his death. Yet, even in this tragedy, the Spirit of God was moving His mission of the restoration of life forward, just as He was moving Paul forward to share this good news with all the nations.

Taking Up Our Role in the Missio Dei (Pt 2)

The Gospel is Good News of a true event that has taken place in history and has changed everything. Those who believe in this good news have been and are being transformed. We have been given a new identity, so we are no longer enemies of God, but we are a Family of Servant Missionaries, Learning to follow Jesus in all of life.

Last week we looked at this identity lived out in the first followers of Christ. This week we take a look at how we, as followers of Christ, are formed into a community on mission.
