Intro:
I -
I want to make a DYNAMIC difference with a group of people that want to make a DYNAMIC difference at a time that will make a DYNAMIC difference.
Jesus & WE > Jesus & ME
EMPOWERED by Jesus WE must be the church that Transyalvania County would miss if WE weren’t here.
>>> Let’s MOVE
I want to awaken the dream in you.
Maybe it has died.
Shattered.
Or the lie you have believed that WE can’t make a difference.
WE must be the church that Transyalvania County would miss if WE weren’t here.
WE must be the church that OUR JERUSALEM, JUDEA, SAMARIA & THE GLOBE would miss if WE weren’t here.
In this one verse we see the PERSON of Jesus, the PEOPLE/WE, the POWER of the Holy Spirit and the PLAN of God.
This is on of the most exciting verses in the entire Bible.
It should set our direction here at BCC!
So it starts in our JERUSALEM = TCounty
Review 5 Circles and 6 Streams.
How is your fishing reports?
What is our mission here at BCC?
It is - WE EXIST TO MOVE PEOPLE INTO A MORE DYNAMIC RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.
WE EXIST - We are not super saints with a new strategy.
We are desperately dependent upon Jesus Christ.
We are not the end and Jesus is the means.
We are the means and Jesus is the end.
He is the beginning and the end.
TO MOVE - We are followers of Christ not just believers in Christ.
We are a sent people.
We are empowered by God to build relationships with people far from God and bring them to Jesus.
PEOPLE INTO A MORE - We are about PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE.
We believe God works through people, not programs.
It is the church’s role to equip individuals to respond to God’s activity in their life.
God has more than anything or anyone can offer.
DYNAMIC RELATIONSHIP - Our success equals a life changed by the power of the Holy Spirit!
When people meet the biblical Jesus their lives will never be the same.
We are matchmakers.
WITH JESUS CHRIST - We have a desperate need for Jesus.
His name is at the end of the sentence but He is the engine pulling our purpose.
We are following Jesus.
At BCC it is Jesus & We!
Trans: Every Christ follower should have a foundational understanding of mission.
That why we are going to take a biblical look at the REASONS for missions, the ROADBLOCKS to missions, and the REWARDS of missions.
The REASON for missions:
1. God Commands Us To Care
When we reach out a helping hand through missions we are obeying the law of Christ.
Law of Christ?
Law = Great Commandment It is repeated 10 times in the Bible.
Ill - As your pastor I want to get you ready for the day that you stand before God and I don’t want Him saying to you, “Now what part of ‘Love your neighbor’ did you not understand?”
I want you to understand it fully so you can actually act on it.
God commands us to care.
Caring is more than a feeling.
You can have all the caring feelings in the world but if you don’t act of them you don’t care.
When we move with Jesus we stop thinking and feeling and start acting a doing.
Ill - Parent, sick baby, middle of the night.
You didn’t feel like it.
BUT...
2. God Commands Us To Become Like Jesus
We are destined to be like Jesus.
He came to share and serve… He set the example and now He wants us to be like Him.
It’s not an option.
If we don’t learn to care and conform to Christ we have wasted our time.
Arg: Mark, BCC is turning 18 isn’t it time we settle down and start acting like an adult?
One of the reasons I will always remind BCC of her mission this time of year is because I want to counteract the inevitable that happens in churches.
Studies have shown that after 20 years churches start turning inward.
They start to focus on themselves.
They stop caring about the community, stop conforming to Christ.
They settle down.
They don’t care about the rest of the world.
The church that doesn’t care with action and doesn’t conform to going, moving Jesus is saying to the rest of the world, “You can go to hell.
3. God Commands Us To Bless Others
We’ve been so blessed and we are blessed to be a blessing.
Why has God blessed you so much?
So you can bless.
In fact, the more He blesses your life the more God expects you to help other people.
The more blessed we are the more responsibility and the more accountability we have.
Arg: Me, blessed?
If you make more than $21,000 a year you are part of the 4% richest on the planet.
Brevard, famous?
14 summer campus bringing 1,000s of kids to Transylvania County.
April - EWS.
There are 250 waterfall and two forest, Pisgah and Dupont - 800,000 visitors.
God is literally bringing Judea to us.
Brevard College… sports team.
Brevard, NC is constantly ranked in the top 5 in national media for places to live or retire.
The population is going to see more growth in the next 10 years than the last 50 years.
We are blessed to live here so let’s bless those that come here.
Ill: My encounter with granddad.
If you need a pastor let me know.
Ill: Ecusta Brewery when the forest shut down.
They might out-drink us but they shouldn't out bless us.
BTW I know some BCCers that they probably can’t out drink.
:-)
What if we care for and blessed others like Jesus?
We would become like him and JESUS AND WE would make a difference.
We would be the church that JUDEA would miss if we were not here.
WE must be the church that OUR JERUSALEM, JUDEA, SAMARIA & THE GLOBE would miss if WE weren’t here.
Trans: Every Christ follower should have a foundational understanding of mission.
That why we are going to take a biblical look at the REASONS for missions, the ROADBLOCKS to missions.
The ROADBLOCKS to missions:
Ex: Peter was in the group gathered here.
He had never been more than 60 miles from is hometown.
Peter and the early church overcame numerous roadblocks.
