YOU WERE MADE FOR
A MISSION
Rick Warren
Part of mission:
- Do it together
- Only you can do.
Jesus: “In the same way that
you gave me a mission in the world, I give them a mission in the
world.” John 17:18 (Mes)
Ministry is in the church (believer)
Mission is in the world (non-believer)
Mission is in the world (non-believer)
“The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me- to tell people the Good News about God's grace.” Acts 20:24 (NCV)
MY 5th PURPOSE IS TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS
HOW? BY BRINGING AND GOING.
God put you in this planet is to use you.

“Each of us will give an
account of himself to God.” Rom. 14:12 (NIV)

1. GOD EXPECTS ME TO BRING OTHERS TO JESUS.

TO WHOM? EVERYONE WE KNOW
“Go at
once into the streets and alleys of the town, and bring in the poor, the
crippled, the blind, and the lame... and go out to the roads and lanes, and urge
all the people to come so My house will be full.” Luke
14:21-23 (NCV)
WHEN? NOW
“The
first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him,
"We have found the Messiah". And he brought him to Jesus.” John
1:40-42 (NIV)
HOW? BY FINDING AND BEGIN SOMETHING IN COMMON
“Whatever a person is like,
I try to find common ground with him so that he will let me tell him
about Christ and let Christ save him.” 1 Cor. 9:22b (LB)
Do what you love to do, with the non believer.

give away their lives for My sake and for the sake of the Good News will
ever know what it means to really live.” Mark 8:35 (LB)

near but unlike me
Ends of the earth = Global PEACE -
everybody else!

to be lost, but He wants all people to change their hearts and
lives!” 2 Peter 3:9 (NCV)
BE A WITNESS- tell your story
WHERE DO I START? WITH THOSE CLOSEST TO ME

people how much God has done for you.’ So the man went all over town
telling how much Jesus had done for him.” Luke 8:39 (NCV)
GOD’S PROMISE: Jesus: "Let
Me assure you that no one has ever given up anything... for love of Me and to
tell others the Good News, who won't be given back, a hundred times over...”
