Mission is using all of my life to help people discover and experience the availability of the kingdom of God through the person and work of Jesus. Use this definition as you invite the Holy Spirit into the questions below!

1. Where in your life are you leaning into self-righteousness (performance, striving, earning) instead of the grace of Jesus? What step can you take this week to receive that grace?

2. Read Matthew 16:15-19. Your view of Jesus determines your engagement with His mission. What is your life declaring about what you believe about Jesus?

3. Jesus wants to move into your house – your heart and life. What do you think He wants to rearrange or restore, and is that keeping you from inviting Him all the way in?

4. When grace came to Zacchaeus’ house, mission was his response. If grace has come to your house, which of these practical handles for living on mission flow naturally for you? Where is God inviting you to grow?
