In Revelation 5:9, we have that scene in eternity where, “They sang a new song, saying, ‘Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation…’” That worship gathering is the culmination of the mission that God has been on to redeem people to himself. To save the lost.
Because the Lord has invited us to be part of what he’s doing in the world, we work strategically with other believers to see to the fulfillment of that mission. With that in mind, March is Partnership Month at Harvest! This Sunday, I’ll be walking us through various Scriptures and laying out 7 priorities for partners in the gospel work.Then, over the next three Sundays, we’ll have some of those partners with us to report on their work and preach the Word. On March 8, we’ll have Vlad Oara from Adulum Church in Timisoara, Romania. On March 15, it will be Dwight Bernier from Acts 29 Canada. And on March 22, Harrison Kwok will be with us from Northern Collective Church in Whitehorse, Yukon. We’re excited to hear from each of them as they share their story and the ministry God has called them to lead.

Acts 28:28
Seven priorities for partners in the gospel work…
1. See the need (John 4:31-38)
Acts 1:8
2. Pray without ceasing (Ephesians 6:18-19a)
Pray as if everything depends on God and work as if everything depends on you.

3. Prepare leaders (Ephesians 4:11-12)
4. Send out workers (Acts 13:1-3)
5. Support the mission (2 Corinthians 9:5-9)
The biblical principles of giving:
(1) Regular;
(2) Intentional;
(3) Generous;
(4) Sacrificial;
(5) Proportionate to income;
(6) Willing; and
(7) Cheerfully given.
6. Proclaim the message (Ephesians 6:19-20)
7. Make disciples (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; Revelation 5:9)
Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever.
