All About Mission
With the beginning of our community groups in a season of gathering, I thought it would be good to remind ourselves of Jesus’ mission.
Why is it all about mission?
- Because mission is about God transforming lives and bringing them under the kingship of Jesus
- Because mission is the task to which God has both called and equipped his people
- Because mission starts in our hearts and does not end until it reaches the ends of the earth
May our thanks, faith, and worship be seen and made known by our whole-hearted focus on, and joining in, Jesus’ mission.
For the glory of our King!

These reasons that it is all about ‘missions’ are very true, however, as we attempt a season of gathering, it can often feel quite bleak. We are called to be fishers of men but, many casts of our net’ seem to come up so empty and our ‘tackle box’ does not seem well equipped.
However, it is my hope that we, as a small fellowship, are able to persevere beyond the short term, when it may appear that ‘not much’ is happening. I pray that we can remain faithful to our tasks, giving thanks for the blessings we will see – great or small.

Good reminder, Dave. The call of a steward is to be faithful. We are a people on mission. The results are in the hands of our God. This is encouraging in all seasons. Jesus’ mission is the call of our lives - it is not simply a short-term project.
