A Mission that Challenges Me Aaron Brockett | John 17:13-19; Matthew 28:16-20

To be part of a church that places more emphasis on meeting my needs rather than inviting me into mission is dangerous.

But now I am coming to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Your Word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not ask that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; Your Word is truth. As You sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. John 17:13-19 (ESV)

To be on mission means to be sent.

Someone on mission is someone sent to show something.

Someone on mission is someone sent to save something or someone.

Lack of joy in life is often due to a lack of mission.

Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw Him they worshiped Him, but some doubted. Matthew 28:16-17 (ESV)

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” Matthew 28:18 (ESV)

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, …”

Matthew 28:19 (ESV)

“… baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, …”

Matthew 28:19 (ESV)

“... teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”

Matthew 28:20 (ESV)

“And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:20 (ESV)

The church doesn’t have a mission as much as God’s mission has a church.
