Living the Mission of Christ Beyond the Church Walls

Body
I have read several books on evangelism and worship that contain valuable insights that can strengthen believers. As believers and followers of Christ, we are called to live on mission and reach others with the same message of salvation that came to us through someone who cared enough to share Jesus. That simple truth is something Christians often know, yet it is something that must continually be remembered and practiced.

Examine Oneself

Body
“On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’” The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.”
