A message from the series “Missio Dei.” One of the most pivotal moments in the Gospels is when Jesus is transfigured. To be transfigured doesn’t mean to be changed into something brand new….no, rather it means to be changed and revealed for something that is already there! In the transfiguration account, the men on the mountain with Jesus receive the opportunity to see Jesus as he truly is: full of glory. It is in these moments when God feels so near, when we feel inspired to grow and dive into the next chapter…that we are energized. There is an electric type of excitement when we can see clearly, because then it motivates us to GO and DO something about what we have seen or learned! The missio dei is not static, it is active.

A message from the series “Acts.” Acts 5:17-42
A message from the series “Missio Dei.” Mission is about both the social order AND souls, for us Wesleyans. We mustn’t feel the need the select an isolated definition, but rather we are encouraged to adopt a new framework by starting with the end in mind. Turn your attention to the biblical theme of “Heaven on Earth”. Someday, the glory of united souls with God and righteous justice of the social order will all coalesce in the reality of the pure and holy reign of God’s kingdom made fully manifest here on earth. Until Jesus returns, our deep calling within the missio dei is to work to bring about as much of the heavenly order of life, here and now.

A message from the series “Acts.”
A message from the series “Missio Dei.” Sometimes we get so laser-focused on treating “mission” like a check-list… as if it is something that we can “accomplish”. The reality is that the missio dei from God incorporates so much more than this. God’s mission is about redeeming the world from the brokenness of sin and reconciling all of creation back to himself. God creates humanity out of pure love and desire… so of course it would please God for every soul to seek Him; a mutually loving relationship. How can we take inventory of how is it with our soul? Where do we notice that we are either seeking or rejecting God? No matter our response, through prevenient grace and God’s eternal love, God will never leave us. God’s mission is to seek and save the lost.
