A BUNCH OF EVERYDAY MISSIONARIES

Doing good and praying are two easy yet powerful habits, especially when Jesus is an active participant—and exponentially when you join with others who are joining Jesus on his mission.
Notes and Next Steps
Hebrews 10:23-25 +  Part 5 of the series "Joining Jesus On His Mission"
To be a missionary, you don’t need to 

move overseas
manufacture opportunities
manipulate people to say yes. 

Just meet Jesus in people’s lives, and meet others who want to do the same.

What if random acts of kindness aren’t so random? 

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10)

“Wow … well, um … good luck with that.”

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Hebrews 10:24-25)

Five Mission Questions for Your Group
