Paul and Barnabas were on a mission from God
Acts 13 v 2 – 3:
“While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas
and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.”

“We’re On A Mission From God”
•Have you encountered Jesus?
•Have you understood the implications?
•Are you (and your family) living as though you are on a mission from God?
•Are you part of the mission…
… or do you just turn up to get blessed?

“We’re On A Mission From God”
Our mission is NOT …
•To have good worship times
•To have great teaching
•To have a great building
Do you agree that these things are not the mission?

“I left the church 5 months ago, after taking 6 weeks to reflect on whether I should leave and to listen to God's direction.
I felt like I was not growing or serving.
Within those 6 weeks no one reached out to me in any form.
Since it was not my intention to leave, I had to go church shopping.
I was shocked at how little attention we pay to our in-house wanderers.
It still concerns me that no one cared enough to ask why I was 'missing' from church.”

“We’re On A Mission From God”
To make God known and increase his glory …
… by preaching the gospel of Jesus …
… keeping in step with the Holy Spirit …
… enduring through hardships …
… and building the local church
