THE MISSION OF GOD & HIS PEOPLE - Going without Knowing - Sep 6, 2026

This summer, weve been looking at examples in the Bible of individuals who were Going without Knowing. They found themselves in circumstances where they went ahead in faith without knowing the outcome. If we were to zoom out, take a step back, what we see is actually the people of God on mission. They said yes in faith to the call of God on their lives, even though they didnt know what it might lead to. God has been on mission since creation, inviting humanity - by faith - to participate in his mission. As we close the sermon series this morning, lets take a little journey through scripture, highlighting three places in the Old Testament and three places in the New Testament where we see the mission of God and his people responding. To participate in the Mission of God, the people of God must: Be empowered by the Holy Spirit in our lives. Be willing to step out in faith and obedience; to blaze a new trail. Be Kingdom-minded in our everyday lives. Application Questions Scripture tells us that we can quench the Holy Spirit in our lives. Ask God if you have a limiting belief or a pattern of behaviour that is blocking your experience of the Holy Spirit. If he shows you something, will you act on it? Have you sensed a nudge/invitation from God to step out in faith, taking a risk? How might you take a brave step of obedience? What would it look like to embrace the reality of the Kingdom of God right where you are today?
