Mission Church Messages

Key Idea: Sharing your story shares God’s story.Scripture Focus: 1 Peter 3:15; Acts 1:8When God transforms your life, your story becomes a testimony. This final week helps us find courage and clarity to share our stories naturally—showing others how Jesus has met us and how He can meet them too.

Key Idea: Serving starts where you are.Scripture Focus: Mark 7:31–37When Jesus served, people saw the heart of God. We’re called to do the same. As we open our hands to serve others, we make God’s love visible in practical ways. Serving others with rolled-up sleeves and open hearts reflects a trustworthy, compassionate church.missionchurchmsp.org

Key Idea: Meals create meaningful connections.Scripture Focus: Luke 19:1–10Jesus changed lives around the table. Sharing a meal breaks down walls and builds relationships. Whether it’s coffee with a co-worker or dinner with a neighbor, eating together invites people to experience belonging before they believe.missionchurchmsp.org

Key Idea: Listening opens the door to love.Scripture Focus: Luke 18:35–43 (Exodus 3:7-9, James 1:19–21)Listening is an act of love. When we slow down and truly hear the stories, struggles, and hopes of others, we begin to see them as God does. Listening helps us discern how God might be inviting us to respond with compassion and presence.missionchurchmsp.org

Key Idea: Mission begins on our knees.Scripture Focus: Luke 6:12–19Before Jesus began His ministry, He prayed. Before He chose His disciples, He prayed. Prayer aligns our hearts with God’s heart for the world. This week, we’ll learn to ask, “God, where are You already at work—and how can I join You?”missionchurchmsp.org

Mission Groups - February 18, 2026Key Idea: We are blessed by God to be a blessing to others.Scripture Focus: Genesis 12:1–3God’s blessing was never meant to stop with us—it’s meant to flow through us. From the calling of Abram to the mission of the church, God invites His people to live sent lives. This week introduces the B.L.E.S.S. framework as a practical guide to living missionally in everyday life.missionchurchmsp.org

If God is love and we’re called to love one another, why is it so hard to love people sometimes? The way of Jesus often feels paradoxical: loving your enemies, blessing those who hurt you, and putting others first. Yet, this is the kind of radical love we’re invited to live out every day.In this message from Romans 12:9–21, we’ll explore what it truly means to love like Jesus in your daily life and relationships.Mission Church MSP is a new church plant in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area with a heart to see people find hope in Jesus, grow in faith, and make a difference.

How do you know you see the world around you correctly? Your perspective can be shaped in so many ways. Where you stand and what you see is shaped by the view of the moment. How might our lives be different if we viewed things from God’s view and not simply our own? Romans 12:1-2#fortheOne #forMSP #theviewfromhere #perspective Learn more about and join Mission Church MSP at missionchurchmsp.org.

Follow the leader is more than a game kids play. However, through life’s ups and downs, you learn to be cautious on who you follow. Maybe that’s why we trust ourselves, at times, more than anyone else, including God. What does it look like to follow after God? How can a walk with God through life’s ups and downs, you learn to be cautious about who you follow?Galatians 5:25 #fortheOne #forMSP Learn more about and join Mission Church MSP at missionchurchmsp.org.

We live in a world that is searching for meaning, purpose, and fulfilment. We avoid what may seem religious and embrace what feels spiritual. Can we know truth? Can we experience God personally? Acts 17:24–28 #spirituality  #notreligious #personalGod #fortheOne #formsp

Certain moments catch us off guard. They're like a deep punch to the gut—some moments capture us and mark us. Even Jesus had moments that caught him in the “feels,” and he leveraged those moments to mark his followers. Can you see the world as Jesus does? Matthew 9:35-38 #fortheOne #forMSP #compassionmatters #seetheworld

Certain cultural statements shape us more than we’d like to admit. As followers of Jesus, we want to be driven by values that matter deeply. So what values move you deeply? John 11:35, Luke 19:41#realmencry #Jesusmission #forMSP #fortheOne

The mission of Jesus can be overlooked in the day-to-day rhythms of life. Yet Jesus sends his followers into the world for his glory and the world’s blessing. We are created to “soak” and “express” the goodness of God. Matthew 28:16-20 #fortheOne #forMSP #JesusMission

The mission of God is core to every follower of Jesus. Being on mission with Jesus has much to do with trusting and following Jesus, as well as doing what Jesus asks of us. How do we know if we are living out Jesus’ mission? What might our lives look like living out Jesus’ mission? Matthew 28:16-20 #fortheone  #forMSP #JesusMission #churchplant #minneapolis

Truth—a definitive reality that cannot be denied. When it comes to love for God or people, you cannot choose one without the other. Yet, we find ourselves in a world that often prioritizes a love for God or a love for people over a love for both God and people. In this episode of the series, TENtalks, we unpack Mark 12:30-31, an inseparable truth. #love #truth #fortheone #forMSP
