INTRODUCTION
A. What does it mean to be On Mission? Jesus commanded us to share His resurrection story where we eat, work, shop, and play. However, He also commanded us to take the Gospel to the world. Our Global Mission is making sure that everyone in the world hears the good news of Jesus Christ.
“So when they had appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed. 24And after they had passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. 25Now when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had completed. 27Now when they had come and gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.” —Acts 14:23-27
B. The theme of our On Mission 2019 teaching series is making disciples who make disciples.
“And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” —Luke 24:47
C. In this series, we will be challenged to take the name of Jesus to all nations by praying, giving, and going.

Don’t forget each week to stop by our ON MISSION PRAY, GIVE, GO tables on the Connect side of the gym.
There are plenty of opportunities for you to pray, give, and go.
Each week, our special guest will be featured at a table, and you will be able to stop and talk with them to learn more about their specific area of focus and how you can partner with them.
Check out the resource page on our website at www.cityunited.church/onmission for more information on this teaching series and Faith Promise Giving, or to watch/listen to a message you might have missed.
