                                                             “Living in the Way of Jesus” Part 2
                                                                           Matthew 4:1-11
 
If I am a Christ follower I will embrace the Mission of God!
 

• A missionary is one sent on a mission –
• God has a mission which is called “missio Dei”

 
                                                       What is that Mission?  John 20:19-23  

“Jesus says, Peace be with you!  As the Father, has sent me, I am sending you!”
 
He gives them and He is giving us a Mission!
 

• Presence - John 1:14

 
 We are called to be present!
 

• Patience -  I Cor. 13:4, Psalm 40:1, Galatians 6:9

 
 We are called to be patient!
 

•  Service -  Mark 10: 42-45 

 We are called to be humble!
 
                                                                    So How do we do this?
 

• Culturally Intelligent - Acts 17: 16-34

 
 

• Inhabit spaces in the world – John 1:14, Gen 12:1

 

• Do whatever it takes – Romans 9:3

 
 
As someone Living the Way of Jesus, you are called to do your vocation with excellence, ministering and serving others through your work.
 
                                                                        Ephesians 4:11-13
 
                                                   We seek holiness, wholeness – (Shalom)
 
 
                                   Shalom means completeness, soundness, wholeness! 
                                   Shalom means everything that could be right with the world.
 
                          The mission of God is to bring Shalom to the world through YOU!
 

 
How might that come through you?
