Curved Stone Steps

Missions & Witness: The King’s Business

  • Core Scripture: Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:18-20.

  • The Argument: Missions is not "doing God a favor"; it is "giving the Lamb the reward of His suffering." Every believer is an "Ambassador" with a "Ministry of Reconciliation."

  • Greek Focus: Martus (Witness). Reidhead notes that this is the root for "Martyr." Presbeuō is a Greek verb meaning to act as an ambassador, representative, or to be a senior/elder

  • Study: Listen to the Missions & Witness sermon series below

  • Key Concept: You are a "legal representative" (Ambassador). Does your life accurately represent the character and "Foreign Policy" of the Kingdom of Heaven?

  • Study Questions:

    • Why does Reidhead argue that "The Bible is a Missionary Book" from Genesis to Revelation?

    • Define the "Ambassadorial" status of the believer in 2 Corinthians 5.

    • What is the difference between "Civilization" and "Evangelization"?

  • Key Verse: "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation." (2 Corinthians 5:18)
