What does it really mean to live on mission?

In this powerful message, Pastor Ron Cathcart takes us into Acts 20 to rediscover the heart and grit of the early church. Through the lens of the Apostle Paul’s journey, we’re invited to reimagine what it means to live out the mission of Jesus—not just in theory, but in every area of our lives.

Reimagining isn't just about tweaking ideas—it’s about boldly asking, "What needs to shift in me, in us, so that Christ is fully reflected?" It’s about choosing courage over comfort, people over preferences, and purpose over passivity.

Drawing from the example of Paul, Pastor Ron Cathcart unpacks five essential principles for living a life on mission:

Living with eternal purpose

Boldly proclaiming the gospel

Embracing the cost of discipleship

Finishing the race with faithfulness

Living out community and calling together

This message challenges us to go deeper—beyond cultural Christianity and into a lifestyle marked by sacrificial love, Holy Spirit dependence, and gospel urgency.
