Summer Outreach Mission Overview

Summer Outreach Mission Overview

The difference between a hospital and a country club? Mission - The entire body of Christ shares a common mission for witness to Christ found in Acts 1:8, a commitment to be light bearers by holding the word of life (Phil. 2:15-16), and beacons in every city where we draw people to the glorified Christ who dwells among us (Rev. 1:12-16)

Joshua's Farewell

Joshua's farewell address to Israel called for their faithfulness to the Word and love for God (Joshua 23:1-13, 24:14-15), to avoid syncretism and idolatry.

The Deep Sweep of the Cross

Troubling impulses from within may have nothing to do with surface concerns, but come from the Lord's further, deeper operation among us (Joshua 22:10-34).

Choosing the Lesser Blessing

2 and 1/2 tribes chose land east of the Jordan, which, on surface level, was a legitimate choice (Joshua 22:1-6), but the deeper view of the cross exposes the choice as problematic.

On the Subject of Laziness and Complacency

One tribe felt their space was too small because they were accommodating the Canaanites rather than driving them out; Joshua rebuked their laziness (Joshua 17:14-18).
