Your Mission Trip
1. Your life is a Mission Trip!
John 20: 21 (NLT) …he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.”
How should we respond to this?
Send me
Isaiah 6: 8 (NLT) I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me.”
2. Your life should look different.
Philippians 2: 14 & 15 (ESV) Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.
How should we respond?
a. Without grumbling.
Philippians 2: 14 (ESV) Do all things without grumbling or disputing…
1 John 4: 16 & 17 (NLT) We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. 17 And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.
b. Stand out!
Philippians 2: 15 (ESV) 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.
Romans 12: 2 (NLT) Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
c. Hold firm.
Philippians 2: 16 (NLT) Hold firmly to the word of life…
Philippians 1: 27 (NLT) Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News.
3. Your life is an ambassadorship.
2 Corinthians 5: 20 (NLT) So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”
