What can we learn from Jonah, a man who ran from God’s call? We see the term ‘missionary’ isn’t reserved for the few, but the all - we are all called to live as missionaries in God’s purpose. Charles Spurgeon was correct, “Every Christian is either a missionary, or an imposter.”

We are a SENT people in the purpose of God to bring glory to Christ. The Gospel calls us to both proclamation & demonstration. How have we usurped the Missio Dei (the Mission of God) to become the Missio ME (My mission)?

We live in a culture which seems hostile to the message of Christ, at the least in perception. Will we choose to obey Christ, or accommodate? Today we look at how Peter & the Apostles responded to the same pressures.

We all live called to the Great Commission, how we go about that individually is always being revealed. But we can be assured of attack, distractions & discouragement along the way. This comes in many forms, but great purpose diminishes all distraction. Nehemiah shows us how to stay on task.

This week we look at the false teaching labeled the Faith Formula. The Faith Formula defines faith as ‘the human will to believe’; the dominant feature is its human-centeredness. Its focus has ceased to be on Jesus, the author & perfecter of our faith, shifting to the individuals ability to believe, and their own self-righteousness.

To say ‘God allows’, is to say we’re devoid of responsibility in our actions & choices & denies the evil forces at work in the world. Today we explore how Divine Determinism hamstrings our ability to, like William Carey said, “Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God!

Francis McNutt said, “When we say that God sends sickness or asks us to endure it, we are creating for many people an image of God they must eventually reject.” How can we begin bring our view on sickness & healing in line with how Jesus viewed it is our question to wrestle with in this sermon.
