Checking if we are Church with a Mission
Last weeks Sabbath School lesson got me thinking more about our Mission.
Some churches spend time inventing a mission, when we all should just accept
the Great Commission of Jesus (Matthew 28:19-20) as the Mission. It is restated
and paraphrased by all Gospel writers in different words (Mark 16:15-16; John
20:21-22; Luke 24:46-49 & Acts 1:8), but the essence is the same: go into all the
world, to all people groups, introduce them to Jesus, baptize them as a sign of
discipleship, and then continue teaching them to live right. This happens when
we receive the Holy Spirit. Only by being empowered by the Spirit we will go for
real. And when the Spirit is at work within us, the fruit is evident love, loving
people as Christ loves us.
If a church is missional, you can tell over time as it changes, because
mission changes not only recipients but contributors too. A Missional church
consists of disciples who disciple. One pastor made a summary of 10 indicators
that church is missional and is making disciples, (based on Biblical standards):
1. Those who have been in the church the longest complain the least. Do
everything without complaining or arguing. Philippians 2:14
2. The leaders of the church are giving up their seats, park further from the
building, do whatever is necessary to help the Body.
The greatest among you must be a servant. Matthew 23:11
3. The church celebrates most when those far from faith come to faith. In
the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents
and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and
havent strayed away! Luke 15:7
4. Members care that others needs are met more than their own.
Dont look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others,
too. Philippians 2:4
5. The church is willing to make sacrifices to attract the lost.
And so my judgment is that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles
who are turning to God. Acts 15:19
6. There is joy even during suffering. Consider it pure joy, my brothers and
sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds. James 1:2
7. The teaching is a balance of truth and grace. Jesus came full of grace and
truth. John 1:17
8. The financial needs of the church are funded, with people willingly
sacrificing. No one begs for money. Each person should do as he has
decided in his heartnot reluctantly or out of necessity, for God loves a
cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7
9. There are no petty disputes and grudges among the people of the
church. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up. 1
Thessalonians 5:11
10. The church takes care of each other well. There was not a needy person
among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and
brought the proceeds of what was sold. Acts 4:34
As we enter in the church planting process, I said to the core group that
expectation for the new plant team will be set high. I invite you all reflect on
these Biblical standards, and examine yourself. Are you missional? Are you a
disciple? Not only the new church plant, but the mother church has to live by it.

your servant, pastor Alex Golovenko
