Missional Characteristics: Examples in Scripture
The Great Commission – given by Jesus at his ascension – calls all disciples to be ambassadors of the Kingdom in their cities, regions, and the whole world. No follower of Jesus is excluded, including us.
Inspired by Priority Three of Project 250, this year’s theme, Missional Characteristics: Examples in Scripture, asks “if we are to multiply missional congregations, movements, and leaders, what scriptural characteristics should we embrace?”
Through the course of the week, each devotional will examine a woman or man from the Bible and identify a key missional characteristic seen in their life. While this is only a sampling of common characteristics found in missional people, we can learn from their examples.
- Day 1: Mary’s Submission
- Day 2: Paul’s Tenacity
- Day 3: Daniel’s Integrity
- Day 4: Ananias’ High-Risk Obedience
- Day 5: Esther’s Sacrifice
- Day 6: Dorcas’ Generosity
- Day 7: Nehemiah’s Strategy
- Day 8: Peter’s Teachability
