We need collaboration and camaraderie over common purpose. -God wants to send you to all the “places”- within your geographic sphere, there are still “places” where people need to hear the gospel. We have so much work to do! Q: Do you have a partner in the mission? Regardless of your life-stage, find a partner in the mission.2) Lambs Among Wolves -God wants us to be focused and feisty when it comes to the Mission. -Focused: verse 4, Jesus trains his disciples, and us, to not be distracted. -Jesus taught them to ignore the social etiquette of their culture in order to prioritize His purposes. -If your time is filled with people, are those people being saved? -It’s not easy, don’t expect it to be.-God desires for us to become emotionally resilient: Satan would love to have us wallow or get inward focused. 3) The Kingdom of God is Near-We have a powerful message that women are desperate to hear.-Our Mission is not an activity or a compartment of our lives.Support the showThank you so much for supporting the show.
