The Power of Mission

Jesus said, “…GO and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:19, 20 NLT

“Jesus traveled through all the cities and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News…” Matthew 9:35 NLT

“…the believers who had fled Jerusalem went everywhere preaching the Good News about Jesus.” Acts 8:4 NLT

“But how can they call on Him (Jesus) to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is what the scriptures mean when they say, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good news.’”
Romans 10:14, 15 NLT

STORY OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN
Luke 10: 30-35 NLT

HOW TO BE MISSIONARY

Your Mission Begins in Your Heart
“he felt deep pity” Luke 10:33 NLT

“For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes…” Romans 1:16 NLT

“So everywhere we go, we tell everyone about Christ.” Colossians 1:28 NLT

Your Mission is to Do What You Can
“Kneeling beside him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with medicine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him.” Luke 10:34 NLT

THREE PHILOSOPHIES OF LIFE:

The robber’s: What’s yours is mine and I’ll take it
The traveler’s: What’s mine is mine and I’ll keep it
The Samaritan’s: What’s mine is yours and I’ll give it
