Missions Conference 2019

Continuing the four chairs of discipleship.

We’ve spent two exciting weeks discussing our mission to Share Jesus and Impact People. This week we will start to discuss a pathway for how impact people best. We’ll have some fun illustrating that this week. Come and see how we can maximize our impact for his kingdom.

Who have been the biggest influencers in your life? For good or for bad we have the opportunity to impact people. God has called us to impact people for Jesus by making disciples. This Sunday we’ll explore what is a disciple, how to make a disciple, and so much more.

Have you ever noticed the power of unity? There is a strength that comes from a group of people working together as one. We’ve been saved into one body – the Church. The next 4 weeks we’ll examine the vision for Central and how this local expression of the body of Christ can strive together in unity for the faith of the Gospel. If you call Central home this series is not to be missed.

This week we will reach the end of Paul's second missionary journey. He's taken the gospel to middle-eastern cities like Lystra and Derbe, before being compelled to press on toward Europe. He's planted churches in European cities like Philippi and Thessalonica. His last major stop will be Corinth, a diverse place that had a lot going on. Sounds a little like today, doesn't it? I'm sure Paul's example will encourage you.

Do you ever get intimidated when it comes to sharing your faith? Are you ever discouraged by what's happening in our culture? This Sunday you will walk away encourage and armed with some helpful tips to share Jesus with people who are lost. We'll follow Paul to Athens, we'll see his optimism, and we'll listen to the conversations he has.

John Mark had failed on the first missionary journey. Now it was time for the 2nd trip. His inclusion created quite the debate. John Mark himself may have doubted if would be of use. If you've ever failed and needed someone to encourage you, then you can relate. Join us Sunday as we see God work through ordinary people. People like you and me.

The early church was changing and not everyone was happy about that. The church had to call a board meeting to determine what should be expected of this growing church. Paul and Barnabas stepped up to lead this changing church. The council said of them that they “risked their lives for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ.” What would people say about you? Are you giving your life away for the sake of Jesus or are you living for less?
