Sender

THEME: Missional all is an important word because
it doesn't describe what we do as Christ followers; it describes who we are as
Christ followers

God as a sender?
I.
RETURN
TO SENDER
STATEMENT OF TRUTH:
If we want to follow God's
will, if we want to fall in line with the Biblical story, and if we truly want
to be followers of Jesus in this world, then we need to understand God's
sending and respond to it.

confuse the idea of mission?

references when God acted as a sender, can you think of any others?

sent?
6. What does the word
"witness" mean to you?

relationship with the Holy Spirit?
8. How important should the act of
sending beat the local church?
9. Why do you think being sent is
neglected in many local churches?

this characteristic in our church?
