The question is not if we have been called. It is where will we be going?
Week 4 in our Everyday Church series was powerful. All across the board. It was such a pivotal focus for our church family.

Sermon Notes
- No place was insignificant, no obstacle was insurmountable (Matt. 9:35).
- Notice the shift from disciples to apostles. The students are now missionaries (Matt. 10:1-2).
- Do not go to the nations, go first to your own people (Matt. 10:6).
- “Every Christian is a missionary or an imposter.” -Charles Spurgeon
- “Some want to live within the sound of a church bell, I want to run a rescue shop with a yard of the gates of hell.” -C.T. Studd
- “You have never talked to a mere mortal.” -C.S. Lewis
What I loved about Scott’s sermon is that he blew up the misconceptions about missionaries. Matt. 9:36-10:4 is normally seen as a call to international missions, and yet Jesus called the disciples to go to their own people before they ever went to the nations. What clarity!
