The Life of a Jesus Follower
Week 7: The Mission is Big

“And when it was day, he departed and went into a desolate place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them, but he said to them, ‘I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.’” Luke 4:42-43

The life of Jesus is all about relationships!

1. Abide – a Relationship with God
2. Connect – a Relationship with One Another
3. Share – a Relationship with the World

1. As I Follow Jesus, What Is on His Heart Will Be on My Heart

What is on Jesus’ heart?
God’s Kingdom

“The kingdom of God is God’s sovereign activity in the world resulting in people being in right relationship with Himself.” Vance Pitman

“In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.” Acts 1:1-3

Three Biblical Realities about the Kingdom:
1. The Kingdom is believers

“And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.” Revelation 5:9-10

1. The Kingdom is believers
2. The Kingdom is big
3. The Kingdom is being built

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:14

“Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power.” 1 Corinthians 15:24

“Pray then like this: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.’” Matthew 6:9-10

“Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.” 2 Corinthians 5:20

“If we as a church are disobedient, it is not ultimately the cause of God and the cause of world missions that will lose; we will lose. God’s counsel will stand, and He will accomplish all His purposes. His triumph is never in question, only our participation in it.” John Piper

“The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is a command to be obeyed.” Hudson Taylor

What is on Jesus’ heart?
God’s Kingdom Expanded

“I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well.” Luke 4:43

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8

“Jerusalem” – Las Vegas
“Judea and Samaria” – The West
“Ends of the Earth” – The World

2. My Relationship to the World is Dependent on My Fellowship With the Father

“And when it was day, he departed and went into a desolate place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them.” Luke 4:42

“And rising very early in the morning, while it was dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed.” Mark 1:35

1. Abide – a Relationship with God
2. Connect – a Relationship with One Another
3. Share – a Relationship with the World

“I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.” Luke 4:43
