We're back to brainstorming again! Here is the description of the Movement series that we're doing in August and September: Most people struggle to discover their purpose or mission in life. We pursue many different goals but find that they are impossible to accomplish or leave us empty once we have accomplished them. The goal of this series is to give people a clear vision of where the movement of God taking us at Damascus Road, and where it can take them too. The five weeks are drawn from the mission of Jesus while he was on earth as explained by why he said he came. (ex. I have come that you might have life and have it to the full) Jesus came to earth with a clear purpose and when he left he told his disciples that their role was to continue the work that he began. This commission he gave 2000 years ago has not expired and we are called to continue Jesus work on earth. We do this by going into our culture, expressing God’s love, communicating the truth about reality, offering people new life and a renewed relationship with God. By joining the mission of Jesus and the movement of God in the world we find our own purpose and clear direction for our lives.

“Movement" - week 1
August 26
This week will introduce the mission of God and explain the first part of how we join his movement today. Jesus was sent by God from Heaven to earth with a mission: to seek and save the lost. In Jesus we find the first missionary, who leaves his context and enters into a new culture. Our lives are to follow the road map he laid out for us in his life. Just as Jesus was sent from God to us with a mission, so Jesus sends us out to continue this mission of seeking and saving the lost. We join his mission first by going – by being sent ones – who go into culture living in and inviting others into the movement of God. Here are the ideas that were brainstormed. Add more as you think of them!
