Better Connecting Our Everyday Lives to Our Mission

Episode Summary. No Christian man I know wants to waste his life. He doesn’t want his life to simply be a shooting star that burns out in a few moments of eternity; he wants his life to matter. He wants to get to the end of the race marked out for him and hear, “Well done” from the lips of Jesus. But we also know that in order to hear Jesus’ commendation for our mission, “Well done” we need to “well do.” We need to stay focused on it. As we saw last week rudderless life is a wasted life. The starting point for connecting our mission from Jesus to our everyday lives is coming to the conviction that God’s design for Christ-followers is that our INNER PRIVATE world GOVERN our OUTER WORLD of activity. This episode looks at HOW to do that—how we can take charge of the rudder and shape our lives according to our mission? And our model will be JESUS. 

For Further Prayerful Thought 

1. How would you try to persuade another man that God’s intention for him is to shape his outer world attitudes and behavior according to the game plan he has constructed in his inner world in conversation with his CO.
2. How would you defend the statement, “If you are not intentional about building a game plan to accomplish your mission on a regular basis, you won’t accomplish much of your mission.”
3. What examples of Jesus shaping his mission stood out to you?
4. How do you need to better implement God’s command in Proverbs 4:26 Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure?
