Week of January 18th – 24th: ENGAGE—Missionally Discipling and Kingdom Multiplying

  • Mission Statement: Creating the space for all people to…ENGAGE the work of Jesus through missional discipleship.
  • Priorities: Missionally Discipling: Maturing together in Christ as we love people who don’t know Jesus with Gospel-intentionality (Colossians 1:28). Kingdom Multiplying: Giving ourselves for the glory of Jesus beyond our local church setting (Matthew 28:18-20).

Pray…together: This week we will be praying together, focusing specifically on our mission to EXPERIENCE the love of Jesus through the love of his people.

  • Adoration
    • Pray some of the characteristics of God that reflect mission (evangelism), discipleship, and Kingdom Multiplication.
  • Confession
    • Confess some of the hang-ups and obstacles and habits that tend to distract or hold you back from living in and living out Missional Discipleship and Kingdom Multiplication.  
  • Thanksgiving
    • Thank God for His rescue mission (justification), His ongoing work (sanctification), and Kingly rule and reign over all people and all places.
  • Supplication
    • Petition God to align our hearts and our church community around the mission of God in saving sinners, the beauty of growth in Christlikeness, and the glory of God’s Kingdom.
  • Reflection Prompts: Please set aside some intentional time in the next week to journal as you reflect and respond to the takeaways from your time in prayer. Ask God to save sinners, mature believers, and captivate our hearts with a vision for His Kingdom coming in your own heart and in our church community.
    • Reflect on the rescue mission of God in sending Jesus. How would remembering this extravagant grace propel mission and discipleship? 
    • In what ways does our church demonstrate a culture of evangelism and discipleship that aligns with the priorities (Missionally Discipling and Kingdom Multiplying) we aspire to embody?
    • In what ways have you seen our church culture become misaligned with the vision of Christ as King and His Kingdom?
    • What role do you play in cultivating evangelism, discipleship, and Kingdom expansion in our church?
    • What hopes do you have for growth in these priorities for our church culture?
    • Lord, reveal where we need to adjust our expectations and participation in your church.

Fast…together: For whoever is able, fast Thursday evening through Friday evening, then gather with a different person each week to break your fast and share what the Lord is showing you.

Discerning…together: Discerning is two fold: Us all following the Spirit, and leaders listening to what the Spirit reveals to the people. Part of this listening and sharing takes place when we break our fasts, but also leaders want to maintain open channels of communication for people to share what the Spirit is showing them through their times of personal prayer and reflection and corporate prayer. There will also be a google form for sharing at the end of January, but we don’t want to wait until then as we are expecting God to move throughout the month.  

Celebrate…together: Save the date and join us on January 30th. We have reserved the school and plan to hold a corporate meal for whoever wants to come and break their fast together. We will be celebrating together what God has done, perhaps sing a few hymns, definitely pray.
