The Mission Of The Church

Preacher: Joel Fair

Rhythms of Mission - https://crosspointecoast.com/2021/01/globalmissionrhythms/

1. Send - And how are they to preach unless they are sent?\
2. Preach - And how are they to hear without someone preaching?
3. Hear - And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?
4. Believe - How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed?

Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Luke 10:16
“The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

Mark 1:14b-15

James 1:22-25
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer - The Cost of Discipleship
Only he who believes is obedient, and only he who is obedient believes.

James 2:17-18
So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
