SERMON NOTES:
A New Mindset - 1 – I go with Jesus not for Jesus!
2 – I now live in a mission field which makes me a missionary!
3 - I get to “be with and enjoy people!”
Renewed Passion – What do you do around here?
2 Corinthians 5 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.

Matthew 6 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
John 8 Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
We keep asking: Jesus, what are you up to? How would You have me join You?
