NRABV*: Sixteen- Mission
Matt 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…
God has called His people to be on mission for Him in the world, but what does that mean? Kevin DeYoung says, “The mission of the church is the task given by God for the people of God to accomplish in the world.” We make disciples by bearing witness to Jesus and what He is doing as the Son of God.
- Mission is not just for other people that aren’t us.
- Mission is how all of us are called to live.
- Mission is not an intangible goal; it is normal life lived in new ways.
Many people feel that the term “mission” is so far above them. For some, mission is only feeding the homeless, painting a house, or taking someone a meal; mission can be those things, but mission is simpler and deeper than that at the same time. The mission that we are on is to make disciples. It is us being able to understand the Gospel in tangible ways so that we come alongside each other in order to help one another live each moment in Christ.
