What Is Our Mission?

What is our mission? It's a question many of us ask throughout our lives. We wonder about career trajectories. We wonder about relationships. We wonder about retirement plans. In it all, we often ask the question: What am I supposed to be doing? What does God want me to do? What is the mission that God has for me?

As churches, we often ask the same questions. We work hard to attract people to our community with programs and gatherings, with games nights and potlucks to the point where the real mission of the church is hidden, lost even, in the busyness of running the church. We sometimes lose touch with why we are here, why we gather, why we worship together.

The book of Mark describes a similar crossroad early in Jesus ministry, a time that confused the disciples. Mark shows clearly that Jesus was holding his mission, his Father's will, in front of him and would not waiver from it.

Join us this Sunday as we wonder together about keeping ourselves on mission as Christ followers and as Christian congregations.
