Sending Disciples: Gathering + Scattering on Mission
How often are you engaged on mission?
Our tendency is to gather with other believers once per week, then go on about our normal lives. Rarely would we describe anything we do as something that reaches people far from God.
Yet when Jesus was on Earth, he was always on mission. Whether he gathered people together or sent them out, all of it was mission.
It's time to reclaim the rhythms of coming together and going out on mission which should be as natural as breathing.
