As the Father has sent me, so I send you” (John 20:21) One of my favorite movies is Mission Impossible. It’s a movie that keeps you on your toes with lots of thrills and mysteries that make you sit on the edge of your seat. When I think of the mission of God I can’t help but think of God sending his Son into the world on a mission; a mission that involved the people of God. It involved reconciliation and restoration of souls. It involved the love of the father to redeem us from sin and to restore our lives to wholeness. Is this mission impossible or is it possible? I’m here to tell you that the mission of God is possible if we come together as a church with the goal of making people; the people of God our mission. Before we can make people our mission, It means as we’ve talked about for several months that we become a community for a community, which means that we learn how to live in community. My feeling is that once we’ve moved to a place where we make people our mission as a response to the mission the father has given us, we will begin to see the impact that the “good news” of the gospel has on the lives of God’s people. In learning how to live in community it means as a church family that we practice the art of reconciliation. Jesus modeled this and lived this out, why can’t we as his followers? Living in community means that we become more trusting of the father and his work. It means allowing for the Spirit of God, the ruach of God to move as the Spirit freely wills. Finally it means that as a community when people look into our house, we’re always living like we’ve been forgiven. Jesus forgave us, so, we can forgive others. Most of all the church will grow if we can become a place where when the “good news” is shared, the love of God is seared on a persons heart. This is done when the church truly responds to the mission of God, which is never impossible when you have God in our lives and it’s never impossible when the Holy Spirit is trusted to do the work of transformation. Impossible? By all means possible!Because of him,Pastor K.C.
