Gospel-Centered Mission
Life is the constant process of expressing and extending worship. Every thought, every word, every desire, and every deed involves the ascribing of infinite weight and worth or value—or, GLORY. Everything we do is an expression of our allegiance, whether it be to our Creator or to His creation. It is God alone however, who is worthy of this worship.
Worship is related to every area of our lives. We are called to eat, drink, speak, think, and work to the glory of God. “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31 ESV). Since God claims authority over every aspect of our lives, worship cannot be narrowed down to a particular time, place, activity, or event. There are no neutral desires or deeds; everything is an expression of worship.
Our worship of God should then move us to live our lives on mission. In perhaps the most famous passage on mission, Jesus issues the Great Commission for His Church, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you…” (Matthew 28:18-20 ESV). In his book Multiply, Francis Chan says, “From the beginning of Christianity, the natural flow of being a disciple has always been to make disciples of Jesus.” When Jesus called His first disciples in Mark 1:17 He said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” We are to become better disciples through love for God and love for others by equipping and empowering others to do the same. We are called to live on mission by extending The Gospel of life to a dead world.
