GOD’S MISSION AND MY PURPOSE
Matthew 22:1-14
Introduction: The Bible tells a very simple story of a loving heavenly Father working tirelessly to restore relationship with his lost children.
- God invited Abraham and Sarah to join in his mission. (Gen. 12:1-3; Heb. 11:8-10)
- God chose Abraham to be a man of great faith who became the father not only of an earthly nation (Israelites) but also of a spiritual nation (the church)
- God invited the prophets to join in his mission.
- All the prophets gave puzzle pieces to God’s people of faith to give them hope for the coming Messiah.
- Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Joel
III. God sent his Son, Jesus, to plainly declare his mission. (John 4:27-38)
- “My food,” Jesus said, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work” (John 4:34).
- God invites you to join in his mission. (Matthew 22:1-14)
- Our purpose in God’s mission is to invite friends, family members, and everyone in our realm of influence to come to God.
Conclusion: From the day God created humanity until today, he has been on a mission to live in vital, personal relationship with every person. God invites us to participate with him in that mission. Will you join him?
