The Greatest Challenges of the Church

Sermon Notes

Welcome! We're so glad you're here! This Sunday, we're excited to welcome our guest speaker, Liberty Muhereza, CEO of Equip and Send Ministries, one of our ministry partners in Uganda. Liberty hones in on what believers are called to be doing as we wait for the second coming of Jesus. He points us to Matthew 28:16-20, where Jesus commissions us to make disciples, highlighting that the mission of the church is about leaving our comfort and doing something for the Kingdom- not just hearers but also doers of the Word. Liberty shares with us what his church in Africa challenges with, that hinder them from being on a mission for Christ, challenging us to reflect on the challenges we are facing as a church today.

Key Points

  • Challenge #1: Disobedience over discipleship

  • Challenge #2: Greed & love for numbers over growth;

  • Challenge #3: Grudge over Grace

  • Challenge #4: Grace over repentance

    Discussion Questions

  • What practical steps can we take to push past living comfortably and actively engage in the mission Jesus calls us to?

  • Spend some time in prayer, asking the Lord to reveal if there’s anyone in your life you’re struggling to forgive or secretly hoping will fail.

  • What stood out to you in the sermon this morning? What is the Lord challenging you to do or reflect on when you spend time with Him next?
