Following a week at the Church of God regional in Philadelphia, Pastor Shannon continues talking about the missional church with an emphasis on the CHOG theme of “Reclaim.” Based on the scripture Luke 10:1, where Jesus sends the disciples out ahead of him, we hear today about how we are called to prepare the way for the Lord in people’s lives.
Sermon: Missional Church 103
Pastor Shannon is talking about the missional church. If we understand that we are called to be missional – who is the subject of our mission? Who should we be reaching? Read Matthew 25:31-46, the judgement of the nations. In order to be missional to people, we have to see humanity as valuable and worthy of God’s love.

Jesus was not simply a teacher but a man of miracles. Pastor Shannon preaches on Jesus healing the woman with the issue of blood from Mark 5:25-34. This woman’s faith makes her stand out, but the question that must be asked of all of us is “do you want to be restored?”

Praise God! Speak of the Goodness of God!
As people of God we know that while life is not easy, God is always good. Following our church’s major outreach event of the year (a free community Luau) we spend the Sunday celebrating the goodness of God. Pastor Shannon gives a short introduction to the importance of testimony and celebration. We have cut out the testimonies because some are very personal, but be encouraged…speak of the goodness of God! What has God been doing in your life?
Evangelism is a big word that often scares many Christians, but we are all called to be God’s witnesses and to share good news. We make evangelism harder than it needs to be! Pastor Shannon gives keys to getting comfortable with sharing your faith.
