Week 7 Mission
Our 7th mission has two parts. This week you need to:
1. Walk through these four concepts:
-
- Presence – Sit in the presence of God and remember he is Lord. Do you need to submit?
- Peace – Read Romans 12:18. Do you have peace with God? Do you have peace with others?
- Purpose – It’s time to practice your purpose. Walk through the gospel, over and over.
- Power – Read Eph 1:15-23 and Gal 5:15-26. Reflect on the passages. Finally, ask God for more understanding.
2. In conversation this week, either share what Jesus has done or what Jesus has done for you.
Family Twist
Each mission comes with a family twist. If you have a family, this week you need to:
1. Choose four times this week to talk through one of the four concepts as a family:
- Presence – Read Psalm 136. Ask what is God like?
- Peace – Read Romans 12:18. Ask the questions: Do you have peace with God? Do you have peace with others?
- Purpose – Alright, it’s time to practice your purpose. Walk through the gospel as a family (the Mission Tip breaks it down). Practice sharing the gospel to each other.
- Power – Read Eph 1:15-23 and Gal 5:15-26. Ask what each person heard in the passages. Then pray together and ask God for more understanding.
2. Challenge each family member to share with someone outside the family one thing that Jesus has done. Be sure to check in and encourage each other!
Mission Tip
Having a hard time identifying what the “gospel” is? The good news can be broken down into 6 parts:
-
- The way it was supposed to be (God’s design of creation)
- What went wrong (sin)
- We can’t fix it (consequences of sin)
- Jesus did (Jesus’ life, death and resurrection)
- Accepting what Jesus offers (Jesus’ sacrifice means nothing if we don’t respond and choose relationship with him)
- New life (the freedom and restoration we have today and for eternity)

Week 4 Mission

1. Sit for a moment in Psalm 139:23+24. Ask the Lord to identify anything in your life that you need to be purified from, then, repent.
2. At least once in your conversations this week, take the step to mention the name of Jesus. See where that takes you!
Family Twist
Each mission comes with a family twist. If you have a family, this week you need to:

2. Challenge each family member to say the name of Jesus in one conversation this week. Be sure to check in and encourage each other!
Mission Tip
We often talk about the things that we love. To help say the name of Jesus in a conversation, take a moment and reflect on your relationship with Jesus. What are things you love about it? What questions do you have? These answers might lead to his name coming up in conversation naturally.
Week 3 Mission
Our 3rd mission has two parts. This week you need to:
1. Take a moment and consider how God has prepared you for his mission. In what ways do you feel inadequate?
2. Identify someone who might be a good partner or encourager for you in mission. Go have a conversation about it with them.

1. Sit down personally, or in the context of home, and make a short list of ways that you live that are different from the culture around you.

2. Brainstorm as a family a few ways you together, and individually, can be practical blessings to those in your life. Pick one and do it!
Mission Tip
Sometimes being a blessing can be as simple as handwriting a note or remembering a detail from an earlier interaction and following up!
Week 1 Mission
Our first mission has two parts. This week you need to:
1. Share with someone how you came to saving faith in Jesus (it can be someone you know!). Alternatively, if you don’t have a saving faith in Jesus, ask someone you know who does to share their story with you.
2. Take time this week to go to a place that has a lot of people. While remembering your salvation story, pray for the salvation of those surrounding you.

Mission Tip
When praying in public, you can still pray out loud with your eyes open!
