On Point, On Mission (Matt 28:16-20)

Authority to Make Disciples Everywhere
16 Now the eleven disciples went to the Galilee, to the mountain Yeshua had designated. 
17 When they saw Him, they worshiped; but some wavered.
18 And Yeshua came up to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, immersing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Ruach ha-Kodesh,
20 teaching them to observe all I have commanded you. And remember! I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Reflect:

Since 2015, the leadership at Restoration has felt called to send our people on medical outreach trips with our ministry partner, JVMI (Jewish Voice Ministries International). Our people have gone to Ethiopia and Zimbabwe to answer the call of Matthew 28! This passage leaves no doubt—Yeshua desires us to go into all the world and facilitate the spreading of the Good News. I believe that when we as the Messianic Community that represents North Seattle undertake these missions, we not only bring glory to God but we also experience the prophetic call of the Jewish people to be a light to the nations (Isaiah 42:6-7). Is God calling you to serve in these medical outreaches or to support them by giving to Restoration’s Missions fund?

Prayer: Lord, we want to fulfill the calling You gave us to go into the world and make disciples of all nations. Help us to fulfill our very Messianic calling to bring salvation and deliverance wherever You might call us to go. Help us to continue to be generous with our finances in giving towards these outreaches, and also to consider whether You have called us to go on a trip as well! In Yeshua’s name, amen!

At Restoration, we have made it a priority to seek God first in prayer. During this season of counting of the Omer, we have decided to do this collectively as a congregation in the days leading up to Shavuot. Together, we want to trust in His power to impact our lives, our congregation, our city, and our world. The last 10 days we will encourage a corporate time of fasting and prayer, which starts the evening of May 9 and ends the evening of May 19. The conclusion of this season of prayer will culminate in a congregational picnic on the 50th day, the day of Shavuot - Sunday, May 20 at noon.
