Acts 13:22-23 22After removing Saul, he (i.e. God) made David their king. He testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’ 23“From this man’s (i.e. David’s) descendants God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as he promised.

1 Samuel 13:13–14 13“You acted foolishly,” Samuel said (to Saul). “You have not kept the command the LORD your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time. 14But now your kingdom will not endure; the LORD has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him leader of his people, because you have not kept the LORD’s command.”

1. YOUR MISSION STARTS WHERE YOU ARE – not where you think you should be
1 Corinthians 7:17 Each one should retain the place in life that the Lord assigned to him and to which God has called him.

4. YOUR MISSION WILL USE YOUR GREATEST DISSATISFACTION
John Ortberg:If you want a sense of mission to burn brightly in you, spend some time feeding your divine discontent.

“Generally the kind of work God calls you to is work:(a) That you need to do, AND(b) That the world needs to have done.
If you really get a kick out of your work, you’re presumably met requirement (a). But if your work is writing cigarette ads, the chances are you’ve missed requirement (b).
![Page 20: BEING A MISSIONAL CONGREGATION](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815ebb550346895dcd3e40/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
(a) That you need to do, AND(b) That the world needs to have done.
On the other hand, if your work is being a doctor in a leper colony, you have probably met requirement (b). But if you’re bored and depressed by it, the chances are you haven’t met requirement (a), and you probably aren’t helping your patients much either.

“The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.
1. What am I deeply distressed about in my world?
2. What could I do to address that issue?

1. YOUR MISSION STARTS WHERE YOU ARE
2. YOUR MISSION WILL USE YOUR STRENGTHS
3. YOUR MISSION WILL USE YOUR WEAKNESS
4. YOUR MISSION WILL USE YOUR GREATEST DISSATISFACTION
5. YOUR MISSION MEANS THAT GOD BELIEVES IN YOU
