Summary
Are you bogged down by the dos and don’ts of the Christian life? Have you ever thought, is there an easier way to follow Jesus? In this program, we will wrap up our series, The B.I.O Lifestyle, by learning – that burdened feeling is not what Jesus desires for us. Don’t miss Chip and our Executive Vice President, Andrew Accardy, discussing what it means to be ‘on mission’ for Jesus. Learn how that biblical perspective can lead you on a supernatural, life-giving adventure with Jesus.
Main Points- BIO Operating System: Think of it like this: Before God, In Community, On Mission. It's about connecting with God, being part of a community, and living a purposeful life.
- Being on Mission: Being on a mission isn't just about going on trips or doing church stuff. It's about having a mindset of helping others every day, like Jesus did.
- Discovering Your Mission: Each person has a unique role in God's plan. It's like finding your special purpose and using your talents to make a difference.
- Restoring Christian Reputation: Sometime the Church is known more for what it's against than what it's for. Chip acknowledge the need to restore the reputation of Christians by living out their faith authentically, with love and compassion.
- Sharing Your Faith: It can be scary, but sharing your faith is important. Start by looking for opportunities, building friendships, and sharing your own story of faith.
- Practical Steps for Sharing: Keep it simple. Look for needs, make friends, share meals, and tell your story. It's about being real and letting God work through you.
- Living the BIO Lifestyle: Every day, check in with yourself. Are you spending time with God, connecting with others, and making a positive difference? That's what it's all about.
