Want to know a secret? Fulfillment in this life can't be found apart from joining with the Father in the great commandment and the great commission. That's because it's how He wired you.

If you have the Spirit of God in you, you're going to love and care about the same things God loves and cares about. Scripture tells us time and time again that He cares deeply about the orphan, the widow, the poor, the foreigner and the lost. It's why Jesus describes for us in Luke 15 what God is like. He says in three different parables God pursues, pursues and pursues.

If you're not personally engaged in pursuing one of those people groups, you're not going to feel fulfilled and that's a dangerous place to be for longing hearts will find comfort one way or another. Will it be through the things of this world that can never satisfy or will it be by joining Him on the mission He designed specifically for you?

Just another reason why the church must send its members, why they must help each one discover their Ephesians 2:10 "good works" God prepared in advance for each of them, why they must then "equip them to do the work of the ministry" Ephesians 4:12. This is the great failure of the church age we're living in. Disciples, followers of Jesus, make disciples. If your people aren't making disciples among the lost, Matthew 28:18-20, are they really disciples? If you're not sending your people, are you really shepherds? Bottom line, people who love God love the things God loves, namely the poor, the widow, the orphan, the foreigner living in the land and the lost. How are you doing on that front?

Top 10 Reasons Church leaders should "send" their members:

7. They get to use their unique spiritual gifts in the ways God intended. (1Cor. 12) This enables them to take part in the spread of the gospel in your community or around the world alongside the rest of your "body" of believers. Let them experience the joy that comes with using those gifts for His glory and their enjoyment.

Pastors and Church Leaders: Are you unknowingly harboring fugitives from the Great Commission?

In other words, are your people settling for a version of faith that looks more like weekly consumption—showing up on Sunday, Keeping their "Sin Slate Clean,” and giving to a few good causes—while missing out on the abundant life Jesus intended? Do you have a clear, factual understanding of where (or if) they’re actually engaged in mission, beyond anecdotes and assumptions?

The way most churches are structured today places the Senior Pastor at the top of the discipleship ecosystem. That means it’s on us to intentionally guide people toward discovering and stepping into the “good works” God prepared for them.

Instead of offering a menu of 10 volunteer options in the building, what if you led people through a process that helps them discern where and how God Himself is sending them to fulfill their "good works"? (Eph. 2:10)

We’ve created a six-session pathway that does exactly that—helping your people uncover their calling, articulate a personal mission statement they’re excited about, and chart a concrete plan for living it out.

When you send your people, something remarkable happens: consumers become Christ-centered followers who experience deeper oneness with Jesus and a life filled with transcendent purpose. In other words—the abundant life.
Watch this:

Jesus refers to himself being sent or sending others over 40 times in the gospel of John. It obviously was crucial to His mission. What you may not be aware ...

Top 10 Reasons Church leaders should "send" their members:

8. When you send, your people they get to experience the deep and transformative fellowship of Christ to the extent they can in the here and now. Paul said it best in Philippians 3:10-11 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

If you're in leadership circles, you may have noticed something in recent years. There's been a proliferation of church growth or planting strategies all claiming/promising this process or this system will get the job done.

Do we really think there's anything new under the sun? Don't be deceived. Assuming you're not just looking to keep the lights on and run a successful "business"....If you want to grow your church the old fashioned way...through conversions and not transfers, there's only ever been one way.

Romans 10:14-15 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 AND HOW CAN ANYONE PREACH UNLESS THEY ARE SENT? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

If you don't intentionally and effectively "send" your people (Matt. 9:35-10:1) to fulfill the "good works" God designed for them long ago (Eph. 2:10) you're stopping short. Our course helps church leaders set their members up for success. It takes them through a biblical process that:

*shows them they are God's "sent ones", that He can and wants to use them to spread the gospel where they live, work or play,

*Identifies who God created them to be which gives them clues to the where and how He would have them engage in the great commandment and the great commission.

*clarifies their personal, God-given mission.

*gives them 5 crucial things they'll need to grow in intimacy with the Father (the very thing they were made for and long for) and bear fruit in the process.

Are you ready to have an honest conversation? Let's talk.

Top 10 Reasons Church leaders should "send" their members:

10. The needs of the world are great. When Jesus saw the harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd, he turned to his disciples and said, "pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out more laborers." What did he do next? He sent them out. Matt. 9:35-10:42

Pastors,
Don't "should" your people into engaging in the great commission. Show them how it's a gateway to giving them what they truly long for...an ever-deepening oneness with the Father and a life of transcendent purpose & meaning. Those are their two core longings and the motivating method behind our "I am Sent" discipleship course. Read the introduction to the course here:

I believe the church today has a fundamental misunderstanding of how God changes cultures and perhaps a misplaced hope in worldly mechanisms.

Chuck Colson, was a disgraced politician for his role in the Nixon Watergate scandal. Later, as a repentant follower of Christ, said, “Where is the hope? I meet millions who tell me that they feel demoralized by the decay around us? Where is the hope? The hope that each of us has is not in who governs us, what laws are passed or what great things we do as a nation. Our hope is in the power of God working through the hearts of people and that’s where hope is in this country that’s where our hope is in this life.”

I pray the church today revisit the practice of the early church who though under great persecution, understood the importance of meeting together in smaller knowable, experiential communities. They knew we all have this innate longing to be fully known, and yet still completely loved and accepted. They knew we all need a place where friends and families can come together to share our fears, confess, our sins, be reminded of God‘s promises, spurred on towards love and good deeds, and to be reminded to not live for this world, but for the one to come. This is the mechanism God has always used to work through the hearts’ of his people.

The predominant, larger Sunday morning service, although important, isn’t sufficient for that. Because the early church experienced the kind of love/community that Jesus invited us into in John 17 it was soul satisfying, life changing and a lost world leaned in for a closer look.

Godly laws and political leaders are important but without the church returning to this early practice, any sustainability or influence on the culture we might have once had, will surely vanish.

Finally, you most likely will have to venture out and create this on your own. In my 30 years of ministry I’ve come to realize the majority of today’s “pastors” have a fundamental misunderstanding of how people grow in oneness with the Father and with one another, the very things we were created for. The reason is today’s “Lead Pastors” who are unbiblically placed at the hierarchical head our churches, aren’t really pastors, but fulfill the role of the Teacher in a local body. Their gifting , passion and understanding of these environments needed for growth, are tertiary at best.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, may He guide you and your loved ones in this process.

As you think about your goals for 2025, consider the goals God has for you. Did you know He has designed "good works" specifically for you? Eph. 2:10 says "We are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works which he prepared in advance so that we would walk in them." These good works will help you spread the good news and make disciples (Matt.28:18-20...the very thing that will give you the purpose and meaning you long for.

The "I am Sent" Discipleship workbook is designed to help you seek God and discover where and how He would have you engage. You can go through it on your own or you can take your small group through it. You can buy it here. https://a.co/d/0DC8p70 For more information, write us at [email protected]
