MADE FOR MISSION

“Go and Be The Good News”
Pastor Joy Levy – April 2, 2023

1. God’s mission is to bring the Kingdom of heaven to earth. He calls us to orient OUR WHOLE LIFE around the advancement of His mission.
   
   Matthew 6:9-10 — Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
   

2. God is ALWAYS AT WORK to draw people to Himself.
   
   God designed us to desire eternity.
   
   Ecclesiastes 3:11 — God “has also set eternity in the human heart…”
   

3. God uses people TO LEAD others to Jesus.
   
   Jesus chooses and appoints us to go and bear fruit for the Kingdom of God.
   
   John 15:16 — You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.
   

4. This isn’t about personality type, it’s about who you are IN CHRIST.
   
   You are His witness.
   
   Acts 1:8 — But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. You are Christ’s ambassador.
   
   2 Corinthians 5:20 — We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
   
   You are His royal priest.
   
   1 Peter 2:9 — But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
   
   Go and be the Good News of Jesus Christ.
