Joining Jesus on His Mission

If we see a need in a human being, we can recognize that the Kingdom of God is nearby and active. That is what Jesus invites us to look for, recognize, and respond to. 

The kingdom of God is God himself and came in the created world through Jesus. When Jesus arrived here, he unleased he promised season of world redemption. It is happening now. Wherever God is redemptively present and active his kingdom is at work. We can seek it, recognize it, and join with it. 

How do we seek, recognize, and respond to what Jesus is already doing in the lives of the people we are enjoying? We start by paying attention to what he is already showing us. He says, "Open your eyes and look," for a reason. 

It really is this simple. Jesus' secret weapon for accomplishing his redemptive mission was hanging out with sinners and enjoying them in his Father's grace. It was inefficiently effective. We can question this strategy, but Jesus would have us imitate it. 

Jesus has made our participation in his redemptive mission simple. Let's keep it that way. We make it hard when we try to do the work of Jesus rather than what he gave us to do. 

Stop Stalling. You will learn more about being a missionary by doing something missional than you will be reading something missional. It's not what you know, but what you do with what you know that makes a difference in people's lives.  

It's hard to take, but it is what it is. The river has moved. You are a missionary to your own community. It's time to trust Jesus and join him in building the next span of bridge to our current U. S. culture. In this episode, Greg & Craig will share some insights on this concept. 

Jesus is on a mission, and he invites you to join him. He does not give you a mission to do for him. He is on a mission and invites you to come with him. Now, let's turn our attention to this mission field we call the United States of America. 

How is Jesus messing with you? What is he up to? What is he inviting you to notice, believe, or wrestle with? What is he inviting you to do? Let's go find out in this episode of Joining Jesus on His Mission. 

Meet author of the book "Joining Jesus on His Mission", Greg Finke, and hear how he was led to write this practical guide for all of us to walk with Jesus on His mission.
