Sermon: Missional Church 101

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.
After a week of turmoil in our country once again, Pastor Shannon preaches a sermon on racism and the church’s call. As the people of God, we cannot sit quietly and let our world destroy itself. We must actively seek justice, speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, and stand up against injustice. Pastor Shannon also discusses #blacklivesmatter.
Jesus advocated for the poor, the oppressed, the marginalized people. From Jesus’ ministry comes our mission as the church. Let us not neglect the very people whom Jesus came to save! The scripture is Luke 4:14-30.
