KNOW THE WAY
WARM-UP
We all need greater purpose and meaning in our lives. Oftentimes, it’s the search for that purpose and meaning that leads us down the wrong path. But everything changes when we finally understand that our mission is ultimately tied to a relationship with Christ.
WORKOUT
That’s because our walk with Him is inseparable from the calling that we all receive from Him, which is the same calling that Jesus gave the disciples.
“I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:18-20).
Jesus referred to Himself as “The Way.” He was saying that following Him was the only path to salvation, to freedom, to truth, to life, and to purpose and meaning. That’s not always a popular thing to believe in today’s world of relativity, but it became very clear to the disciples that Jesus was everything He claimed to be.
And that’s why they were able to walk away from their ordinary lives and risk everything to tell the world about Jesus.
Q: Do you ever struggle to accept that Jesus is the only way to purpose and meaning? Explain.
Q: What are some things that might be holding you back from accepting God’s mission in your life?
So, how did the disciples do the great things after Jesus left the Earth? They did it because of what Jesus left behind for them--a powerful tool that gives them the ability to accomplish all things, great things.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8).
And that’s the same way that you can embark on the most meaningful mission you could ever imagine--an unstoppable mission that God calls all of us to accept.
Q: What are some things that you want to do with your life that you consider to be bigger than yourself?
Q: Does the idea of pursuing God’s mission for your life excite you, scare you, or not interest you at all? Explain.
WRAP-UP
Pursue Mission
If you’re ready to accept God’s call, here are three ways that you can begin to pursue the mission and start walking in the fullness of what He has laid out for you to do:
1. Trust the Mission. Fully embrace what God has called you to do and believe that He will give you everything you need to get the job done.
Read Hebrews 13:21.
2. Prepare for the Mission. Getting ready to do God’s work is no different than getting ready for athletic competition. It requires diligent preparation through consistent prayer, Bible reading, and Christian fellowship.
Read 1 Corinthians 9:25-27.
3. Commit to the Mission. Make the decision that you will not give up even when things get tough because there’s no doubt that it will.
Read 1 Corinthians 15:58.
As you pursue God’s mission, you’ll find yourself living out the calling more completely in our theme verse: 1 Timothy 6:11.

When you pursue your goals in sports, what are you trying to achieve? Your sacrifice and passion pave the way to accomplish your goals. God does the same for you. He pursues you, loves, and accepts you completely. Success is no longer defined by your skills. You have a new purpose when you play. In this 8-day plan, pursue truth, life, team, and mission to strengthen your relationship with Christ.
