Purpose and Calling

The Mission of Christ Luke 9-10 (p.791) Luke 9:51 Luke 9:42-43 Luke 9:44 Luke 10:1-2, Jesus came to save a lost world, to call His creation back to Himself.

The Mission of Christ Christianity is a fighting religion. … [It] thinks that a great many things have gone wrong with the world that God made and that God insists, and insists very loudly, on our putting them right again.… Enemy-occupied territory – that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage. - CS Lewis, Mere Christianity, p.45, 51

The Mission of Christians Luke 9:1-2 Luke 9:20 Luke 9:23-26 Luke 9:46-48 Luke 9:57-62 Luke 10:27-29 Our Purpose – to save a lost world, to call creation back to God.

One Mission, Many People D*F*M – a way to live all of life. Problem – we have the wrong perspective. I may wonder what kind of mission God has for me, when I should ask what kind of me God wants for his mission. - Christopher Wright
