10 Things That Keep Us From Mission
When we look at the life and ministry of Jesus, there is one constant, blaring thing about it we cannot escape…Jesus was constantly and radically missional.
No matter what gospel you read (Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John) Jesus is always reaching out to both the rejected and the religious. Jesus extends and gives himself to both those who are outcasts and to those who are in the “in.” Jesus has love both for the lawbreakers (the antinomians) and the lawkeepers (nomians).
Yet, despite this most obvious feature of Jesus’ life, which he passes on to us as an ever abiding commandment (Mt 28:19-20), many of us find it difficult and challenging to have a lifestyle of mission like Jesus. Why is that? Below are ten common reasons given for what keeps us from mission, coupled with ways we can work to combat their tendencies in us.
Nehemiah Series (Part 10): “Looking to the Future Fulfillment of God’s Vision”
This is the tenth week of our sermon series, “Nehemiah: Building God’s Church in the City.” Part 10, this week is an exegetical sermon of chapter ten and is about Looking to the Future Fulfillment of God’s Vision. This sermon looks at Nehemiah 10 at the way we approach commitments, community, couples, church and our cash as Christians under the new covenant. This sermon was originally preached April 5th, 2009 at The Resolved Church in San Diego, CA.
Viva La Vida Christus: Living the Life of Christ (11 Parts)
This series covers Romans chapters 12-16. The sermons address how the last five chapters of Romans envision the rock solid theology of the first two-thirds of the book (ch.1-11) to be practically played out in our individual lives before God, with each other, and toward those in the cities we live in. In total there are 11 sermons preached from September to November of 2008 at The Resolved Church, San Diego, CA.

The City
Well, fall is here. It might be still be hot and humid but students are back in school, which means parents of the young ones are back to the regular routine and college students are back in town. Summer flings are now over and will either disintegrate or develop into real relationships. Weddings may be on the way for some and broken hearts for others. Tans will fade, hoodies will come out, the grass will start growing again, the ocean water will get colder, the beaches sparser, the coffee hotter and the beer better.
