Sunday was a memorable day in the life of our church. The morning kicked off with a powerful message from David Platt. It concluded with an interesting and challenging look from Thom Rainer on where the culture is and encouraged each one of our members to live as ministers. Both of these men challenged us towards the fulfillment of Christ’s Great Commission entrusted to each one of us. So what do we do? How do we first of all process what we heard, and second, how do we wear it?

The first step is making sure we got the message. Many of us may need to go to the church website and watch the message again and let God’s Word sink deep into our hearts. Others may need to simply take a look at their notes from Sunday morning or the many important components of Dr. Rainer’s study on Sunday night. Take some time in your personal time with God this week to review what we were told as a church through these two men.

Next, we must examine our own lives. What is God telling us to do? The greatest thing about hearing a man of God preach from the Word of God is that the Spirit of God penetrates our hearts in ways we may have never expected. God may have pricked your heart towards an area of your life that neither Dr. Platt nor Dr. Rainer spoke about. Let these questions from David Platt cause us to examine our hearts.

• Are we choosing comfort or the cross?
• Are we settling for maintenance or sacrificing for mission?
• Will our lives be marked by indecisive minds or undivided hearts?

Last but certainly not least, we must obey. The danger with not obeying quickly is that we often get consumed with life and end up forgetting what God has told us to do. Were you one that God has called to live more on mission with Him? Were you one that needs to live sacrificially? Were you one that God dealt with on a completely different subject? My simple encouragement is to obey. What God told you yesterday, do today. As a church, we must take what we heard on Sunday and commit to God’s mission once again. Let me encourage you to be in church this Sunday as we talk about how we will be taking this next step in fulfilling God’s mission.
