Mission-Minded Monday

The Supremacy of God in Missions

One of my textbooks for my final Master’s class is “Let the Nations be Glad” by John Piper. The book is a delight to navigate, and because I’ve heard him preach and teach many times, I can “hear” the whole thing in Piper’s voice. Throughout the book, Piper references many anecdotes and stories about God’sContinue reading “The Supremacy of God in Missions”

Today, on Mission-Minded Monday, I wanted to share a sermon from Paul Washer on the Great Commission. This sermon, preachedContinue reading “The Great Commission as a Theological Endeavor”

The Great Commission and the Christian

Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t. John Piper The Great Commission is a simple command: advance the kingdom of God to all peoples that He may be worshiped as He rightly deserves. While not all are called to be missionaries and pastors in the field,Continue reading “The Great Commission and the Christian”

Facing a task unfinished That drives us to our knees A need that, undiminished Rebukes our slothful ease We, who rejoice to know Thee Renew before Thy throne The solemn pledge we owe Thee To go and make Thee known “Facing a task unfinished” by Keith and Kristyn Getty The Christian stands redeemed, justified, andContinue reading “Mission-Minded Monday”
