"Missiology" | ReJesus

University Church of Eugene Sermons

In this episode, we get into the heart of discipleship and the mission of the church, guided by the scriptures:

• John 1:14 - "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."
• John 5:17, 19, 8:29 - "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working... Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does... The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him."
• Isaiah 61:3 - "To all who mourn in Israel he will give: beauty for ashes; joy instead of mourning; praise instead of heaviness."
• 1 John 4:18-19 - "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us."

Join us as we explore how a direct and unmediated relationship with Jesus transforms our lives, calling us to serve, protect, and bless others. Discover the difference between an attractional model of evangelism and an incarnational, missional approach, emphasizing the importance of living out the gospel in everyday life. Learn how the mission of God defines the church and how Jesus' own methods of discipleship guide us in making true disciples. Whether it's through everyday acts of service or deep relational commitment, we'll see how mission emerges from our devotion to Jesus and his love for the world.
