1 Peters 3:15-17: Engaging in Public Faith (Missional Disciplines)
Sunday Jul 31, 2022
Sunday Jul 31, 2022
Welcome to the 1st sermon in our series on the missional disciplines. (1 of 5)
The mission of Refuge is to “build our identity in Christ for the sake of the world.” One of the major ways we do that is to “practice” being like Jesus: following him, trusting him, becoming more of who we really are by practicing Gospel truths. This is not an effort to change who we are, it’s actually an effort to become MORE of who we now are, in Christ. What we do individually in growing our relationship with Jesus, what we do with fellow followers of Jesus in growing our relationship as the Church, and what we do as the Church in proclaiming and demonstrating this new Kingdom are all important.
For the rest of August, we are going to look at 5 practices of mission or spiritual disciplines of mission. God has gifted each of us in different ways to see and be passionate about these areas, and when we work together in harmony, we carry out the mission of the church while gloriously and freely giving of our selves and leaving the results to the work of the Holy Spirit!
The 5 practices we will be looking at are:
- Engaging in Public Faith
- Gathering for Public Worship
- Ministries of Compassion, Mercy, and Justice
- Integrating Work and Faith
- Hospitality
Each of these practices are incredibly important in the life of the New Testament Church, and we want to learn how to practice each of these better, together, as we continue to build our identity in Christ for the sake of the world!

Welcome to the 4th sermon in our series on the Lord's Prayer. (4 of 4)
In the Christian life, nothing is more important, and nothing more difficult to establish and maintain, than a meaningful prayer life. Although we find time to do just about everything else—good things, industrious things, ministry things—it often seems that when we get to the issue of prayer, everything works against us. In this series, we will examine the pattern for prayer provided by Jesus in Matthew 6, traditionally known as the Lord’s Prayer.
