As his dad, I would do anything to get him home

He loves me. I don’t know what to do with this. It is too… much.

We Already Are [Matthew 28]

Sermon Notes (Mars Hill Bible Church)

• Lord, we submit our agendas–not our will, but Your will be done.
• For Jesus, power and authority were not to be exercised over but to be served under.
• He doesn’t come with the sword, but He comes with a towel (John 13).
• Jesus is not about forcing His way onto others.
• His excusia is an upside down kind of authority that comes from giving voice to those who have no voice, not trying to make your voice louder.
• The assumption of Jesus is that we’re already going places, and in our going we should “make disciples of all nations”.
• The fundamental posture of a talmeed is humility.
• I wouldn’t be a disciple if I had it all nailed down.
• The ethnos are people who aren’t like you.
• If you’re only around Christians… then you can’t make disciples.
• the ministry of muttering (Luke 15:2)   
• Do sinners want to hang out with you and Pharisees mutter against you? Then you’re like Jesus.
• Our maker is a relational being, a community of love.
• Immerse them in a Trinitarian community (Matthew 28:19).
• The question is not: When do you start teaching them about Jesus?–you’ve already been teaching them. The question is: What have you been teaching them?
• The Gospel of Jesus is not just something to be spoken.
• Central to being a disciple is you don’t have fear. What’s there to fear? He’s with you (vs. 20).
• A disciple of Jesus is somebody who is done pretending that everything is alright.
• They’re fully in tune with their brokenness.
• When Christians will only partner with other Christians, they’re telling people about Jesus.
