SERMON NOTES:  

“It’s the little things, done repeatedly, that often matter most!” 

The five simple practices which ready us to Join Jesus on His mission every day are:

1)   Seeking the Kingdom             Matt. 6:33                             “How have I seen God at work in my world this week?”                                                                                   

2)   Listening to Jesus                   Matt.7:24                              “What has Jesus been teaching me in His Word lately?”

3)   Talking with People                 John 4:7-27                           “What kind of conversations have I been having?”

4)   Doing Good                                Matt. 5:16                             “What good can I do around here?”

5)   Ministering through Prayer         Col. 4:2-4                               “What opportunities for prayer am I seeing?”

 Ezekiel 379 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.

Prayer is a vital not only for our union with Jesus (UP) but also our mission with Jesus (OUT)!

Let’s keep asking:    Jesus, what are you up to?     How would You have me join You?
