Title: The Biblical Basis for Mission


1
The Biblical Basis for Mission
  • Genesis 121-4
  • The Call of Abram
  •  1 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your
    country, your people and your father's household
    and go to the land I will show you.
  •  2 "I will make you into a great nation       
    and I will bless you        I will make your
    name great,        and you will be a blessing.
  •  3 I will bless those who bless you,        and
    whoever curses you I will curse        and all
    peoples on earth        will be blessed through
    you."

2
The Biblical Basis for Mission
  • Galatians 3.
  •  6Consider Abraham "He believed God, and it was
    credited to him as righteousness."7Understand,
    then, that those who believe are children of
    Abraham. 8The Scripture foresaw that God would
    justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the
    gospel in advance to Abraham "All nations will
    be blessed through you.9So those who have faith
    are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

The Biblical Basis for Mission

  • Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
    baptising them in the name of the Father and of
    the Son and of the Holy Spirit

  • John 2021
  • Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the
    Father has sent me, I am sending you."
  • Acts 18
  • But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit
    comes on you and you will be my witnesses in
    Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to
    the ends of the earth."

Team Building
  • 1Cor 1215-26
  • 20As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
  •  
  • but that its parts should have equal concern for
    each other. 26If one part suffers, every part
    suffers with it if one part is honoured, every
    part rejoices with it. 
  • The hands, legs, and head are different parts
    of the body but work together for the good of the
    body. They cant afford to work against each
    other neither can they work separately. We have
    to learn how to bring everyone on board.

    with. Encourage everyone and let them know that
    every ones work is important.
