Living on Mission (Oct 2023)
Preparing for Your Mission
October 15, 2023 • Bong Baylon
Sometimes, your mission from God may become clear to you early on in your journey with Him, eliminating the need to wait. This can be a great blessing! However, more often than not, it takes time for things to become clear. You will gradually discover who you are meant to be and what the Lord wants you to do with the life and gifts that He has entrusted to you. While waiting for clarity regarding your mission from God, there is no need to passively wait. God wants you to actively prepare for it by faith by focusing on four areas of your life that will be crucial in fulfilling your mission from God.
The Testing of Our Mission
October 29, 2023 • Bong Baylon
Picture this: Abraham, the father of faith, embarking on a journey of purpose, with every step, his divine path was becoming clearer before him. Yet, like all of us, his faith faced the crucible of testing. His experience invites us to explore our own journey of faith, for it's not a question of "if" we'll be tested, but "when". When the test happens, where we focus our attention will determine our success in fulfilling our mission in life.
Deviation from Your Mission

As you walk with the Lord by faith, your life’s mission will become clearer. Stay on track and fulfill the mission God lays on your heart through the Holy Spirit. Straying from this mission is like losing your way in life. Be careful not to deviate from your calling. Abraham almost lost his way without God’s faithfulness. Four situations can tempt us to deviate.
Anatomy of a Mission from God
October 8, 2023 • Bong Baylon
Last Sunday, we learned that our mission is much bigger than our occupation. That’s why we cannot just focus on our jobs. We need to discover our mission in life. Our job is what we do to earn a living, but our mission is why we exist in this world. We need to live in view of our mission instead of just living for our occupation. But how do we know our mission? The calling of Abraham gives us a picture or pattern of what a mission from God looks like. Today, we want to look at Genesis 12:1-9 to understand “The Anatomy of A Mission from God.”
Your Mission and Your Occupation

Each of us is created by God for a unique purpose in the world. We have a mission from Him: He wants us to represent Him in our uniqueness. This is why we have a unique combination of personality, gifts, talents, preferences, passions, etc.
