A Church’s Mission: The Purpose Of Church At The Mission

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on May 15, 2011

Jesus was sent by the Father and Jesus then sent His disciples. How does Jesus’ calling connect with the church’s calling? How does God use the unique character of a local church to impact its community for the gospel?

Let’s consider the purpose of Church at the Mission today? Why are we here? What is the mission of Church at the Mission? Our mission, why we are here and what we should be doing, is not something that we come up with ourselves. Who is the head of this church. It’s not me. It’s not Rick Tobias. ...read more

Will The Real Jesus Please Stand Up Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jul 5, 2010

Jesus was not just a great teacher and healer. He’s the risen Lord and Saviour, the Son of God who died and rose so we could be made righteous in God’s sight.

One of the comments you often hear from non-Christians is that they quite like Jesus but they’re not so keen on God. Jesus is all loving, sacrificing, etc, while God seems so judgmental, so angry. People are happy to have a saviour. They’re happy to have someone who always forgives; ...read more

Why The Wilderness

Contributed by John A. Peck on Nov 3, 2009

Often the wilderness is a dangerous place, frought with danger, anxiety, vulnerability. Out there, we are usually the prey or the victim, but it is also the place where we encounter God.

Why are we meeting God in the wilderness (where else?) We are, generally speaking, city dwellers. We live in cities, towns and villages, but for the most part we stay out of the wilderness unless there is something there for us. But in the Bible, a lot of important things happen in the ...read more

The Message Of Jesus

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Nov 16, 2009

1. Salvation is more than just me being forgiven for my sins. 2. The goal of the Christian life is not just salvation, but transformation. 3. We are transformed in order to be God’s transforming agents in the world.

Just Jesus

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jun 14, 2012

To the people of Nazareth, Jesus was nobody special...he was just Joseph's boy, you know, that carpenter's kid from up the street. The folks missed the meaning of his life because he was just Jesus.

Just Jesus Luke 4:14-30 You know the definition of a “church expert?” Answer: Anybody that lives more than 45 miles away from your church! Maybe you get this at home yourself sometimes. Conversation after dinner goes into a topic you think you have some knowledge about and you ...read more

Fishers Of Men Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Oct 3, 2011

If we do not allow anything to get in the way of following Jesus Christ, we will be “fishers of men” as well, leading them to be saved from their sins!

A couple of questions to start out with: Who was the first person that Jesus called to be one of the 12 Disciples? Open your Bibles briefly to John 1:37….. Now, what was the big Lake or Sea near Nazareth where Jesus grew up? Of the original 12, how many were fishermen? = at least 7 (John ...read more
