The Missional Life

Philippians 2.19-3.21 - A 5 week series from January 17th - February 14th

In the Anglican tradition, the 12-day Christmas season ends with the celebration of Epiphany, a feast on January 6 commemorating the first manifestation of Jesus’ identity to the non-Jewish world. One of the primary themes arising out of Epiphany is the worldwide mission of Jesus. This worldwide mission is rooted in the reality that Jesus is the light of the world, the hope for humanity, and the world’s true King, but his ongoing mission now takes place through his followers. What are we called to be like in order for Jesus’ mission of self-less, sacrificial love to go forward? As we look at Paul’s letter to the Philippians over the next five weeks, we’ll get glimpses into the heart and lives of some of Jesus’ earliest followers. What motivated them? What did they value? How did they think? What were their goals? In this series, we’ll be exploring these questions about our hearts, our values, and what motivates us. These questions are important to every human being, so whether you’re a committed follower of Jesus or someone who is just beginning to explore Christianity, we invite you to join us.

“Around the world the problem of Christian work is the problem of the Christian worker. As family training cannot rise above family character, so Christian service cannot rise above the Christian servant.”

- E. Stanley Jones, Christian missionary to India in the early 20th century
