Would you characterize your life as a Christian as a life marked with joy? Do you find that serving in the church, sharing your faith with non-believers, or helping teach other West Side Christians is an anxiety inducing experience? Jesus did not call us to follow him and our lives be marked with fear and anxiety. Jesus truly wants us to find joy in living a life on mission. In fact, when His first disciples found joy in their second preaching tour, Jesus rejoiced with them as they shared their success. Jesus wants to rejoice with you as you find success in life on mission.

In the 1960’s TV show, Mission Impossible, the secret agents often finds a hidden recording device with a mission for them to carry out. As the tape begins playing some format of this phrase is spoken, “This is your mission, should you choose to accept it.” The special agent then must decide if they will or will not accept the special mission. As followers of Jesus we find ourselves in the same boat. Jesus called us to live Life on Mission, and part of that mission is to make disciples of Jesus. Will you accept or will you run from that mission? The choice is yours to make.

I am excited for 2015 as we explore what it means to live Life on Mission. Jesus calls us to follow Him and to make disciples as we do. That is living Life on Mission. But how do we do that? What does it look like? How does our personal growth tie into this mission? Today we begin our journey as we understand that our Life on Mission begins in our Jerusalem.
