OUR MISSION

SOUTHLAND’S MISSION IS “TO BE AND TO MAKE GROWING FOLLOWERS OF JESUS.” WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? AS WE PREPARE TO ENTER A NEW FACILITY, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF OUR MISSION AS A CHURCH. A NEW BUILDING IS JUST A TOOL TO FACILITATE OUR MISSION. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A GROWING FOLLOWER OF JESUS? HOW DO WE MAKE GROWING FOLLOWERS OF JESUS?

SERMON NOTES

NOVEMBER 18 - BEING

THE CHURCH IS MADE UP OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE RECEIVED THE GRACE OF JESUS AND ARE FULLY COMMITTED TO HIS LEADERSHIP FOR THEIR LIFE. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR HOW I LIVE EVERY DAY IN THE REAL WORLD? IF I AM “BEING A GROWING FOLLOWER OF JESUS,” HOW WILL MY LIFE LOOK COMPARED TO EVERYONE ELSE? TO PREPARE, READ 1 SAMUEL 17 & LUKE 9.

NOVEMBER 25 - MAKING

IT IS THE MISSION OF EVERY CHRIST-FOLLOWER TO GO PUBLIC WITH THEIR STORY OF FAITH. WHEN JESUS TOLD HIS FOLLOWERS TO “GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES,” HE ALSO TOLD THEM TO TEACH THOSE DISCIPLES TO DO THE SAME THING. EVERY GROWING FOLLOWER OF JESUS IS CALLED TO THE SAME MISSION IN OUR GENERATION. HOW CAN I BE PART OF MAKING GROWING FOLLOWERS OF JESUS? TO PREPARE, READ MATTHEW 5:16; 28: 18-20, ROMANS 1:16 & ACTS 1:8; 2:42-47.
