1. Read Romans 15:14-33.

2. What stands out to you about Paul’s burden to share the good news with those who haven’t heard it (15:15-21). Do you share that burden, not only for people across the world but also those across the street? Why or why not?

3. Why do you think it matters for ALL of us to play a role in this mission?

4. What role are you playing when it comes to God’s mission of spreading his name to all people (local or international)? How can you become more involved with this?

Title: A Family Generous in Mission
Reference: Romans 15:14-33
Speaker: Jacob Nannie, PaulB@cckc.church

Paul’s] confidence remained, even with an anguish of heart, that the Roman Christians were essentially "full of goodness, complete in knowledge, and competent to admonish one another." ~ Richard Longenecker

– A family that is all in on the mission of God has a purpose.

Christ Community's Mission/Purpose Statement: We desire to be a caring family of multiplying disciples, influencing our community and world for Jesus Christ.

– A family that is all in on the mission of God has open hands.

Each one of us has been created by a generous God to be generous. We were created not with a closed fist but with open hands. An unwillingness to be generous or a decision to embrace a selfish greed goes against the grain of our original creation nature and design. ~ Tom Nelson, The Economics of Neighborly Love
