Super Sat - The Antioch's Church

Today, we got to see Daryll again; He's back from Cambodia! Welcome back! :)
Michelle requests you to blog about your experiences there!
Cannot remember everything you've said.

Basically, his trip was from the 6th till 14th August. The team, which consisted of youths ages 18 and above, went for home-visiting, youth camp, outreaches in church, and eating... For Daryll, it was more like a holiday! =P But it was his 4th experience to the missions field... Seeing the simplicity of the ppl there is heart-warming rite?

We bombarded him with questions after he shared! Thankfully, he answered all of them from his heart. I'm glad he shared about missions when we talked about missions. the key word is "Missions". Okay, today, we combined with 4 other CGs and Jehanne spoke to us about the "Antioch Church" ^^

So what about the Antioch Church? It is one of the great churches that serves as a model and examples for us. It is located 480 km north of Jerusalem. Nice fact, its aka the "First City of the East". It's a multicultural and multiracial city. The church helps to break down every wall of division and racism is broken down.

What made it so powerful?
1.It had spiritual hunger for God.
2.It majored in discipleship.
3.A disciple is a thoroughly trained worker with a great attitude. "Little Christ".
4.It worked as a TEAM (Together Everyone Achieve More)
5.It poured love and care upon the missionaries.
[Cf: Acts 13:1-4, 11:25-26, 14:27-28]

What is "Missions"?
Missions is God sending the whole church with the whole gospel to the whole world to meet the spiritual and social needs of humanity.

Why is Missions So Important in the Kingdom of God?
[The purpose of...is...] -for world missions
1. Jesus dying on the cross... [John 3:16]
2. Being a child of God...[Gen 1:28]
3. Your calling! [Phil 3:17[
4. Pentecost! [Acts 1:8]
5. The Church [Matt 28:19-20] - The Great Commission

Four things in the upper passage to the Church:
> It has been empowered with all authority of Jesus to do world missions.
> It is supposed to go into every nation
> It is to "make disciples of all the nations"
> It is promised Jesus' presence at all times.

6. Prosperity... [Deut 8:18]
7. Jesus delaying His 2nd coming... [Matt 24:14]

Hope you all are blessed and have learnt something this week.
Come back for a "Fasting and Prayer Session" next week!
