Mission: Manage | ryan peterson

February 08, 2026As we continue the Vision and Mission series, we are discussing the second facet of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. The first aspect of a disciple is to ‘strengthen yourself in the LORD,’ and the second is to ‘manage your household.’ To manage your household means to be present and active in your personal relationships, seeking their good over your own. The picture we get of a well-managed home goes all the way back to Eden in Genesis. Eden was a place where humans were immersed in God’s Presence, where life was cultivated and multiplied. This same picture is given in today’s home, so we can manage our own greenhouses. Greenhouses have gardens, where each represents individual relationships to maintain and tend the soil. The nutrients in each garden require us to maintain healthy levels of water, fertilizer, seeds, air, and light. The climate of our homes shapes the conditions in our cities.You can find this weeks sermon notes and groups guide here:https://gracechurchsp.org/resources/sermon-guidesTo take a deeper dive into this message with Pastor ryan peterson and Dan Lyle, check out our Groups Leader Podcast:https://gracechurchsp.org/resources/group-leader-podcastTo support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://www.gracechurchsp.org/giveFill the city with Jesus.
