MoP189 Church Partnerships in Missions - 3 For the Church
Friday Mar 08, 2024
Friday Mar 08, 2024
No matter what kind of church you are, there is value in establishing church partnerships in the work of missions. Three kinds of churches are explored in this episode: the sending church, the supporting church, and the receiving church. Each kind of church has a unique interest in church partnerships. Churches need other churches. Just like the Gentile churches sent support to the church in Jerusalem, we too need to be aware of and ready to help other churches in need. And who knows, one day we might find ourselves on the receiving end of care as well.

MoP188 Church Partnerships in Missions - 2 For the Missionary
Friday Mar 01, 2024
Friday Mar 01, 2024
The missionary is a bridge between two cultures and the churches in those cultures. Church partnerships provides the framework for the missionary to understand the value of his work. Sometimes work like raising support and writing newsletters can feel like a drudgery, and simply a means to an end. But they're not. They support the grand vision of church partnerships. A vision for church partnerships can help motivate the missionary in their work to rise above the reduction of their ministry to metrics. Brotherly affection crosses cultures too.

MoP187 Church Partnerships in Missions - 1 Biblical Necessity
Friday Feb 23, 2024
Friday Feb 23, 2024
What do church partnerships have to do with missions? Isn't it enough that we see healthy churches planted and leaders developed? In this episode we walk through the biblical account of God's plan for his glory through the unity of churches across cultures as we together worship the same risen Lord and Savior. Ever since the Tower of Babel, our cooperation has been cursed. But now that we share the same Spirit, church partnerships can show the world something unique about God's glory. This is the final goal of missions.

MoP186 Discipleship in the Church - 6 Power
Friday Feb 16, 2024
Friday Feb 16, 2024
We are weak, limited and frail. Where can we find the strength to endure until the end, to accomplish the great task that Jesus has given to us to go into all the world, teaching disciples to obey all that Jesus has commanded us? We are desperately dependent on God alone for both our justification and our sanctification. God guarantees the success of the mission because he guarantees that his presence will go with us. We find comfort in the powerful, personal presence of our Savior.

MoP185 Discipleship in the Church - 5 Goal
Friday Feb 09, 2024
Friday Feb 09, 2024
Most people think of discipleship in terms of teaching, but it is easily neglected or undervalued. It's too easy to think that something else is the objective. Keeping this goal in mind, though, has dramatically important implications for the church and missions. We cannot fulfill the goal without the life-long discipleship that is found in the local church. From the cradle to the grave, everyone is still learning to grow in their obedience to all that Jesus has commanded his disciples.

MoP184 Discipleship in the Church - 4 Beginning
Friday Feb 02, 2024
Friday Feb 02, 2024
Who should we invest our time and efforts into making disciples? How do we know if someone is truly serious about pursuing discipleship or not? Jesus has given a very simple command, and it should be considered the beginning of discipleship. Baptism is the glue between the church and missions, and we need to get baptism right in order to hold the two together.

MoP183 Discipleship in the Church - 3 Scope
Friday Jan 26, 2024
Friday Jan 26, 2024
What is the scope of discipleship endeavors in the church? Who should we seek to make disciples of? Jesus makes a radically inclusive call for all peoples in every tribe, tongue, and people group to become his disciple. And thankfully, we are given the promised vision in heaven that this reality will one day be true. For now though, we need to set our sights on the nations of the world, especially those places that are darkest, the unreached and unengaged.

MoP182 Discipleship in the Church - 2 Authority
Friday Jan 19, 2024
Friday Jan 19, 2024
Jesus begins the Great Commission by declaring that all authority in heaven and earth have been given to him. But what does this mean for the church and for missions? Jesus' authority is essential for missionaries because it grounds them in the sure foundation of God's word and the church which is where Jesus' authority is exercised. Be wary of missionaries who are untethered from the church, just as we should be wary of anyone who comes in their own authority.
