[Sunday] Rain On Enemies - Missio Dei
- Look at the party the father is throwing. The whole town is there. Even that scoundrel Matt is there who stole from the father’s business. I can’t even believe he is throwing this party for that son who took everything from him. But did you hear about the drama with the older son? He is refusing to go into the party? After all, it was raining on the whole party.
Questions for the Week: Missio Dei: The Great Sending Part 3 - Rain On Enemies
Read John 3:16. What gift does God promise you? Why does He give you this gift?
Read Matthew 5:43-48. Why does Jesus say to love your enemies?
Why does loving your enemies show God’s abundance and His generosity towards you?
When you look at the world with the eyes of Jesus, seeing God’s abundance all around, how does your view of the world change? How might this view change the way you live?
Here are the Original Series.

Just as Christ is “the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end,” at the close of every liturgical year, we look forward, with renewed hope, to Christ’s coming again in glory to reign as Lord forever. In the same way, we also look forward to our own resurrection and the time of a new earth — an earth that is no longer broken by sin and groaning. Christ will come again in glory just as surely as He came the first time, when He was born. So we have these three weeks of “transition” at the end of the “long green season” into the Advent Season: the new beginning of the liturgical year.
