1. Know this God. This God has come to us in Jesus, the one who said “I am the door. I am the vine. I am the way, the truth, the life. I am the light of the world. I am the resurrection and the life.” Do you know Jesus Christ?
2. Elevate Your View of God. Tozer said that what comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. You will not attempt great things for God if you don’t have a great vision of God. HE is:
Holy
Self-Sufficient
Eternal
Mysterious
Glorious
Gracious
3. Realize that God accomplishes his purpose through weak vessels. Because of this, you can stop making excuses, and start trusting his promises. This is one of most encouraging passages in Scripture. Look at who God uses! He can use you as well.
Today we begin our 15-week series in the book of Exodus. “Exodus” means “Getting Out” or “Going Out” or “Delivered.” This is an epic tale of God’s deliverance of his people from Egypt’s cruel slavery. Every scene leaves you on the edge of your seat, from baby in a basket, to the burning bush, to the Red Sea, and more. And Exodus has something to say to all of us.
So welcome to Exodus. May God help us better understand our redemption. And may he help us better understand our mission.
While we will do some events to reach people, the regular strategy is very simple: befriending people and pointing them to Jesus. This is how everyone gets involved in the mission.
