What Do We Mean by Mission?

January 27, 2012
Emil Brunner said, "The Church exists by mission as fire exists by burning." The evangelical church needs to be particularly aware of the nature, the necessity, and the nurture of mission if it is to avoid degenerating into a heap of ashes.
References: John 7:12-18

Apparently Peter was frustrated when he asked Jesus, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother?" Forgiveness is an integral part of Christian experience; so Peter was right to ask for help. Many of us need help with forgiveness, too.

"Disciple" is not a commonly used word in ordinary conversations, but it should be a highly respected word in Christian thought because, among other things, our Lord’s final instructions included the command to make disciples. What did He mean?

The name "Christian" was given to some of Christ's disciples as an uncomplimentary nickname, but in time it became a recognized designation of those who followed Christ. In more recent times the meaning of the term has become confused; a look at its origins should help.

Ever since Jimmy Carter announced that he was running for President and that he had been "born again," the term has been in vogue. It has also been misused, abused, and generally depreciated. The question we need to ask is, "Is the new birth an important aspect of spiritual experience?"

Those who are going through a tough time often ask themselves, "How am I going to get through this?" Many times it may feel like you never will. But faith is something that can get you through anything. In this message, Pete looks at Hebrews 11 and uses the lives of Moses, Joseph, and Rahab as examples of how strong faith can get us through the hard things in life.

You've heard it said that some people look at the glass as half empty, while others see it as half full. The point of that statement is that your attitude determines on how you look at a situation. The same can be said of our faith. Our faith can be stronger depending on how we look at things.

Have you ever noticed how your day just seems better when the sky is blue and the sun is shining? In the same way, most people find it’s easier to trust God when everything in their lives is going well. But what about when our skies turn gray and we get into a slump?

Have you ever worried because someone you love was late coming home? Did you find yourself worrying about where they were or what happened to them, and before you knew it your mind had created vivid images of a car accident or something horrible happening? God tells us to trust Him. So, when we worry it means we are sinning by not trusting Him.
