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

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on May 15, 2011
     | 10,181 views

    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

    There are different kinds of vessels in the house of God. So you will do well to examine what kind of vessel you are. Let me clear one thing before we go deeper into this message: God will not accept any excuse from anyone for not being a useful vessel.

    Our message this week, is what I call “The thorns of life.” Genesis 3:17-19 says, “And unto Adam He said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee saying, thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy ...read more

    Zechariah prophesied that Jerusalem would be on the auction block and today it is. Why don’t we listen to accurate warnings?

    LUKE 21:24 reads, “Jerusalem will be trampled under the feet of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” 1. THE JEWISH NATION WAITED AND DANIEL INTERPRETED DREAMS ISAIAH 41:10-12 tells of the promises God wanted to bestow upon the Jewish people: “Do not fear, for I am with ...read more

    Jesus prays that the Father will protect us. But how does the God do that? How does God guard us and shield us when we live so exposed to the temptations and lusts of this world?

    OPEN: Down in Kentucky, our nation has a very special place designed to protect our gold supply. Do you know what it’s called? (Fort Knox). That’s where our nation keeps most of our gold.

    This sermon examines the account of Peter walking on the water to see the true nature of the Grace of God.

    Introduction: We all know we are supposed to say God’s grace is amazing, marvelous, wonderful. That’s what the songs tell us. And yet, I wonder when someone will write a song discussing how confusing it is. It must be confusing because I hear all kinds of different thoughts about ...read more

    This telling of the birth of Christ is a mixture of narrative and historical facts. My prayer is that it blesses you.

    Many of us know the “Christmas Story” oh so well. And no, I’m talking about the one with the “Red rider BB gun”. That “Christmas Story” is very humorous and it’s a lot of fun to watch. But there was nothing humorous about what happened in Bethlehem and the neighboring villages as a result of the ...read more

    There was an alter sacrifice and the prophets of Baal keep chanting "oh, Baal, answer us!" for many hours, but nothing happened. Then, Elijah offered up a short prayer and God consumed the sacrifice. But soon after things took a turn for the worst.

    FROM A WARRIOR PRAYER TO A SORRIER PRAYER (THEN BACK AGAIN) INTRODUCTION: When I went through the Lord's Prayer a couple of weeks ago in regards to Jesus telling us to not pray as the pagans do I mentioned the account of Elijah and the prophets of Baal.
