Missions is a form of worship as an overflow of our delight in God. As we worship Him and seek our own relationship with God, we also invite others to know and experience God for themselves. When all the nations of the world worship God, the Gospel will be fulfilled. 

Sincerity in our relationship with God is one of the most valuable qualities, and this certainly extends into our worship. Do all acts of worship require the right feelings? Can worship be simple obedience and the feelings follow after?

Worship is a word that evokes different things for many people. Is it singing in church? Is it sacrificial giving? Is it the sacrifice of animals? There is a great opportunity for the church to grow in our understanding of our response to God's call for an offering.

Barriers to belief are often formed from personal experience. What can we do to overcome these barriers?

The Kingdom of God gathers all kinds of people, good and evil. Jesus will sort them all out in the end. Disciples of the kingdom get to enjoy all the old revelation along with the new!

The treasure and the Pearl are precious, and to get them, it will cost a great deal. God bought us at a high price and we obtain Him at a high cost, but all is worth it in the end!

The Kingdom of God is sown in obscurity and smallness, but give it time: it becomes the greatest kingdom in all the world!

Pretenders in the Faith have been sown in the world by our enemy, and they look a lot like the real children of God. We have to let them grow up alongside us until God sorts us all out on the harvest of the last day.

Jesus did not want all things pertaining to God to be just a matter of common sense. Parables were a kind of code that would be deciphered by the Spirit in the hearts and minds of the believing. 

The Word of God is sown widely and generously, but there are many obstacles to it bearing fruit. When it does take hold, it bears much fruit for the glory of God.
