This week we continue looking at the goals of our discipleship pathway and turn our attention to becoming an everyday missionary. Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is both incredibly simple and potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to live intentionally and on His mission. It’s very cool that we can do that together! Thank you for joining me today! If you are new to the show, you can find our past shows on our website, runwithhorses.net. I have spent several weeks focusing on a definition of the church and the current discussion about a discipleship pathway is best understood in the context of our broader look at the church. If you have been enjoying the show, I would appreciate it if you would leave a review wherever you are listening! And as always, your questions, comments and feedback are welcome.

Merriam- Webster : Missionary - a person undertaking a mission. Everyday - 1, encountered or used routinely; 2, used, suitable for, or seen every day An everyday missionary is someone who lives with the mission of Jesus at the center of their lives, everyday. "Everyday missionaries are those who practice a life on mission where God has placed them."- REF (https://calvarydothan.com/everyday-missionaries/) An Everyday Missionary is a Disciple Maker, working on the mission of Jesus where they are. We have to start with a clear understanding of the mission of Jesus. REF (https://discipleship.org/blog/mission-of-christ/) Two-fold mission of Jesus 1. To make redemption for every person possible. Only Jesus could do this. No other name. ***Acts 4:12 Sinless life and perfect sacrifice. ***Hebrews 7:22-28 "It is finished." ***John 19:28-30 **Redemption is now possible for all.** Justifies through Faith. ***Romans 3:21-26 ***(00:00)*** END PART 1*** ___________________ ***(27:00) ***BEGIN PART 2 ***END ***(5:00)*** 2. To start of movement of messengers of redemption. These messengers are called disciples by Jesus and were prepared by Him to take the message of redemption to the world from generation to generation. Disciples are Ambassadors for Christ. ***2 Corinthians 5:16-21 Disciple have A New Relationship. ***John 13:12-17 Disciple follow A Clear Command. ***John 13:34-35 Disciples Carry a Clear Message. ***1 Corinthians 5:1-6 - The message requires us to repent and believe, turning from our old ways to follow Jesus, becoming His disciples and joining His mission. The messengers of the Redemption message gather in assemblies Jesus calls the Church. The Church gathers to use their gifts to support mutual spiritual growth and progress toward Christ-likeness. The New Testament calls this edification. It is the building up of the Church for works of service. Our spiritual growth has a purpose. Ultimately God's Glory, accomplished through obedience to His commands. An Everyday Missionary lives with this mission and message in view. Choices are made that keep them engaged in the mission. It is an intentional lifestyle. Looking for conversations that keep Jesus at the center. ****(5:00) ***END***( 1:00)*** DOCTRINE October – Bible Authority of the Bible Matthew 4:4 2 Timothy 3:16 Psalm 19:7-11 2 Peter 1:19-21 Matthew 28:18 **(1:00)**END**(00:00) Thanks for joining me again today!
