Thank you for joining us throughout September for a look at #MissionalLiving. Today’s post is a wrap up of the entire series. As mentioned in the introduction to this series, a summary of “missional living” from Gotquestions.org guided the organization of our September content:

“In truth, every disciple of Christ should strive to be an agent, a representative of the kingdom of God; and every follower should try to carry the mission of God into every sphere of his life. We are all missionaries sent into the world.”

The idea of “missional living” is that all of our “lives” are connected and subject to Christ. Organized around five themes, and you will find links to all the September posts according to theme, below.

Week 1: Jesus Commissions Us

Kicking off the series, the introductory post,“So SEND I You:” Missional Living, established the framework for the discussion of “missional living.” Ali shared with us how Jesus equips us to fulfill HIs mission in Sent With Presence and Power. She encourages us to lean into Christ’s call to mission because”…He will use me the way He’s created me and in the way He’s chosen to empower me for the task of bearing witness to His beautiful name.”

Week 2: Cross Life Defines Us

In view of the cross, our mission is defined. In Sent With Jesus, Jaime explains that “The cross is the ultimate expression of love and therefore the chief characteristic of a missional life.” Lisa continues the conversation in her post, When God Sends YOU to Be the Minister, saying, “Because God reconciled us to Himself through the death of Jesus, clearing away our sins, He has equipped us to reconcile others to Him and to each other.”

Week 3: Body Life Edifies and Equips Us

In week three the conversation looked at how our connection to the Body of Christ, the church, facilitates our missional life. In Gathered to Go, I write how “participation in the life and work of the church is essential to fulfilling our call to follow Jesus.” In her post, Building Up One Another in Love, Jennifer shares how “life in the Church builds us up in love as we grow towards spiritual maturity.“

Week 4: Gospel Life Knows No Boundaries

In case you wondered when we we were going to discuss sharing the Gospel, that happens in week four. A missional life certainly includes the Gospel. In Put on Your Gospel Hat, Kelli shares how we can share/demonstrate the Gospel to those around us. She writes, “…if you realise that your life, every aspect of it, is an avenue to share the gospel with your family, friends and co-workers, then you also realize that your “Gospel hat” replaces all the others. Your “Gospel hat” stays put because it is essential to missional living.” Following Kelli, I write how we can share the Gospel with the world without leaving home in Mission to the World. In my post you will find some tools you can use today.

Week 5: Kingdom Life is Now and Forever

Finally, we draw things to a conclusion by discussing our role as an ambassador of Christ’s kingdom in Kingdom Life: Now and Forever. As “culture makers, justice seekers, and light bearers” we partner with Christ to do the Father’s will “on earth as it is in heaven.”

Final Thought

It is my hope and prayer that this series on Missional Living has encouraged and challenged you. No matter where you are in living your life for Jesus, may you experience His grace and presence with you today.

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.  –Matthew 28:19-20
