Approved and Entrusted: Embracing Your Missionary Call

What if every Christian lived as a missionary? Join us as we dive into 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12 and learn what that could look like.

Key Takeaways:

#1: Every Christian is called to be a missionary.

You may never cross the sea to share the gospel, but every Christian

is called to cross the street to share the gospel.

#2: Christians are to live holy lives.

Our lives preach the gospel in addition to our words. Our manner of

living should reflect the fact that we have been saved and set free!

#3: Christians are to love those they are reaching.

God has not called us to have an us versus them mentality. Instead,

we are to care deeply for those around us. Remember, Jesus was a

friend of sinners.

Reflection Questions:

What does it mean for you to be approved by God in Christ and

entrusted with the gospel?

Thinking about how Paul lived among the Thessalonians, what does

your life communicate about the gospel?

Do I have genuine love and care for those in my community? Am I

willing to invest in relationships with those who are far from Christ?
