Living on Mission

The fundamental desire of every follower of Jesus is simply to please God. While that statement might seem simple, it is often hard to know just how to do this. What does following Jesus truly look like? What does faith look like?

In this five-week series we will discover just what faith looks like as we examine the lives of those in Hebrews 11; a chapter known as “The Faith Hall of Fame.” Understanding faith is integral to our journey as followers of Jesus because without it, it is impossible to please God. Don’t worry, it actually is pretty simple—so join us as we uncover the Fruits of Faith together.

The chase never ends. Everything seems to echo “more, more, more”— the next paycheck, the bigger house, a new trend. The financial finish line seems ever moving, leaving us clinching our hands thinking “if only I had___, then I would finally be free.”

But what if freedom wasn’t found in having more, but in something else entirely?

In a world where scarcity seems inescapable, Jesus promises us abundant life. During this 5-week series we will learn how our generosity opens our hands to receive God’s fullness. As we step out in obedience, letting go of what the world says offers security, we instead embrace His provision.  Opening our hands is scary, but we aren’t walking this path alone. May we become ever more like the Savior we love—a Generous God, and Generous People.

From the beginning, humanity was designed to live in relationship with God. To know Him and be known by Him is the essence of our existence; and to be separated from Him the source of our suffering. This is why sin causes such brokenness; it separates us from the source of our life. But God gave the ultimate sacrifice to restore us to Himself—His Son, Jesus Christ. Now, those that have been redeemed carry the call to share the message of salvation with those still separated from the One they were made to know. Rooted in Matthew 10:7, this three-week series leading into our Missions Gathering will teach us how to carry out this mission with endurance as we go throughout our daily lives and to the ends of the earth.
