THE WORLD OUTSIDE THESE WALLS!
AUGUST 25TH: No Walls on our Mission
God loves our WORLD
John 3:16 (NIV)
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
2. Our world God loves is in TROUBLE
Romans 8:22 (NIV)
We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
3. God has a PLAN for our world.
1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."
4. God’s plan for the world is His people LIVING LIFE ON MISSION.
2 Corinthians 5:16-20 (NIV)
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
WHAT DOES THIS TEXT TEACH REGARDING LIVING ON MISSION?
TO LIVE ON MISSION WE MUST:
1. SEE Others.
2 Corinthians 5:16 (NIV)
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
Genesis 1:27 (NIV)
So, God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
DAILY PRAYER: God, give us eyes to see others as you see them.
2 Corinthians 5:17-19
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
2. SERVE Others.
Luke 12:48 (MSG)
Great gifts mean great responsibilities, greater gifts, greater responsibilities!
"Our life is not only about ourselves. If we live solely for ourselves, we live in the void of meaninglessness. It is in the surrender to God and service to others that we find true purpose and joy."
