UN Week 4 Notes

Proverbs 29:18 where there is no vision the people perish (cast off all restraint)
we need a vision, we need something to run after

Matthew 28 18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

John 3:16

Ephesians 3:10-11 "Gods purpose in all this was to use the church to display his wisdom...this was his eternal plan that he carried out through Jesus"

Jesus cast a vision in Matt 28 - the great commission and will carry this out through the church.

Colossians 1:28-29 We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.

1. we proclaim with grace, hospitality - be invitational. Invite them to the table.

the local church should model Christ when proclaiming Christ. He went out and invited him into a relationship with him.

we need to bring him our best, don't just show up, be extravagant to give people the good news.

use every angle - be relevant.

2. "admonishing" You have to have a relationship with others

you can't admonish/correct people that you don't have a relationship with.

you have to be in a relationship so that you can give and receive openly

get involved in a group

3. "teaching" hands on and doing life together, get people involved and going on a journey with them. we learn by doing, getting in the game, not just sitting in a class getting filled with knowledge. You have to participate in the vision, not just sit around and talk about it.

come to the table, build relationships and get involved

4. "so we may present everyone perfect in christ"
perfect - fully mature
