SERMON NOTES:  

What does Joining Jesus have to do with the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation?

Our New “Joining Jesus” Mindset

-          He invites us to go with Him – to join Him in His Mission!

-          Seek First His Kingdom!

Matthew 4 17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
Matthew 6  31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 

What is His Kingdom and how do we seek it?

Matthew 13 44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.

This week’s questions:
                                Jesus, what are you up to?
                               How would you have me join you?
