runner to prepare the way…

• Jesus, who is the Christ sent by God to
be savior to restore…
• Holy Spirit sent by Jesus to indwell
us...
• Baptism received by Jesus & by us
• Jesus, who is the Christ received by us
• Holy Spirit received by us
• God is on mission…
• So, mission is not an activity of the
church; it is an attribute of God…
•Therefore, Church is participating
in the mission of God
Come
&
Hear…

Go & Show…
Alan Hirsch
• The missional vision is outward-
facing rather than inward facing
“Therefore, go and make disciples of all
the nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father and the Son and the Holy
Spirit.”
• The missional vision is confident
rather than fearful
And be sure of this: I am with you
always, even to the end of the age."
• The missional vision is incarnational

"Look! The virgin will conceive a child!

She will give birth to a son, and he will
be called Immanuel (meaning, God is
with us)."
