‘Simplified Missional Living’ lived out in the lives of everyday people like you and me. Listen in here to this last sermon at Austin City Life in a series called Mission: The Point of the Church.
…in order that I might be the church along with my brothers and sisters in Christ. The church is a family on mission together, being led by the Spirit, centered on the person and work of Christ, for the glory of God — for the cities in which we live.

And I believe what I believe

Here’s the message.
Jonathan Dodson shares how and why we must replace those unsatisfying idols of success, leisure, comfort, etc., with the one true God in Christ.
Only in the Son who reveals the Father to us, will we find true and satisfying rest for our souls.
As Jesus himself says in Matthew 11.25-30:
At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

I think if you’ve already done any of these twenty-two things since Monday, it would count as well. And, if you already have an ESV Study Bible (or, any other study bible for that matter), this little contest is still well worth entering. If you do win, give it away to someone who needs one!
