Mission
Acts 1:8
Theme: As the Early church lived out being the Early Church, God added to their number generously. God didn’t stop wanting to save people. His mission didn’t end in Acts 2. God is still growing his church and we have been called to be part of the church, part of the missional arm of the body of Christ.
Generosity
1 Chronicles 29:14-20
All that we have been given is from God. Do we struggle in giving back? Why is it important to tithe? Why is it important to give to the church? How is this a part of ministry? How is this a part of mission?
Discipleship
John 15:9-17
Discipling is inviting people in. Jesus doesn’t hold us at arms length. He invites us into the mission. Into obedience. Into fellowship. Are we discipling well? Are we handing down well? Are we encouraging and enabling the gifts that we see in others well? Or are we creating silos? Are we scared of losing our place? Losing who we are? Losing our value to the church? Are we a discipling movement?
Fellowship
Romans 1:8-13
Fellowship, being together, is a huge part of being a church. We see it in the Early Church. We see Paul’s desire to gather with the church in Rome, that they might be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. Does our faith encourage others? Are we encouraged by the faith of others? How does this functionally play out in churches today?
