Mission Hills Church

Explicit | Transformation + Temptation

Your past doesn't disqualify you from God's love or His plans. The Bible is filled with stories of very messy lives re-purposed for incredible good. Unfortunately, we often edit out the more explicit parts of these stories...but not in this series. We're going to tell it like the Bible tells it, because the more real we are about the mess, the more hope we have that God loves us and can use us. (Don't worry...we know kids will be present and we'll keep it tasteful!)

Welcome to Mission Hills!

Mission Hills is a church family—a family who wants to extend to you the same love, hope, and joy that we have received. We know that we cannot be all things to all people. But we do want to be one thing to all people. We want to be the place where anyone, of any age, of any level of spiritual maturity, of any economic class, of any ethnicity, of any church background—or no church background—can meet God in a way that transforms their life…forever!<br><br>If you are a first time guest, we would love to meet you!

Genesis 39:1-2

With God, our failures aren’t fatal.

Genesis 39:3-4

Joseph made it clear that his success was a blessing from God.

Genesis 39:5

God blesses us so we can be a blessing.

"As long as I’m here, God’s got a man/woman on the inside of this operation."

The quality of our work can draw attention to the greatness of our God.

Genesis 39:6-7

Temptation always follows transformation.

Genesis 39:8-10

We need to put as much distance between ourselves and sin as possible.

Genesis 39:11-12

Hebrews 12:4

Sometimes, resisting sin is costly.

Genesis 39:13-20

We do what’s right because it’s right, not because its rewarded.

Genesis 39:20-21

Just because you’re in the devil’s sights doesn’t mean you’re off God’s radar.

Genesis 39:22-23

Every mess is an opportunity for mission.

Here's three things we can do:

1. Accept that God might have more to do where I am than where I want to be.

2. Pray for God to use me in the mess, not just to get me out of it.

3. Start looking for opportunities rather than an exit strategy.

1. What criteria am I using to determine if God is with me? What signs do I see that He is with me?

2. Where do I need to put more distance between myself and temptation?

3. What’s the biggest mess in my life right now? What opportunity for mission does it offer?
