That You May Proclaim: Week Ten

Pastor Tim Walker

18Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust.
19For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly.
20For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God.
21For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.
22He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth.
23When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.
24He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
25For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
1 Peter 2:18-25 ESV

1Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.
3He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.
6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.
8By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people?
9And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.
12Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.
Isaiah 53:1-12 ESV

45 [“]For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Mark 10:45 ESV

As we study together…

Commands?

Promises?

Difficult words/phrases?

What does the passage mean?

Context? (never interpret less than a paragraph)

How would the original hearers receive this?

Key word definitions?

Parallel Biblical teachings?

Can you communicate the point of this passage in a simple phrase?

As we leave on mission…

What must I do in response?

How does this truth apply to my life?

Personally?

As the church?

In my community?

What steps do I need to take to apply this?
(Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-based Goals)

(reach out and ask… follow up)

The Christian life is designed to be transferred relationally and journeyed together. You need to “rope in”– brother to brother and sister to sister – on a weekly basis so that together we can draw near to God and join him in his kingdom work.
This is an exploration – commit and prepare for a long and rewarding journey.

Juan Marcos and Raquel Jean

World Reach: Birmingham, AL

Juan Carlos and Raquel Jean serve with World Reach, Inc., a missions organization based out of Birmingham, Alabama. There are 27 families serving abroad as missionaries with World Reach. Of those families, 20 use Spanish as the language of their home. They are serving in Honduras, El Salvador, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, Romania and in the Balkan Region. For these missionaries their first culture is a Latino culture with Spanish as their first language. It is Juan and Raquel’s job to liaison between these missionaries and the home office. They help with simple jobs like translating prayer letters and ministry reports, but also through the more weighty and difficult task of translating culture and expectations. What has proven to be invaluable is participating in ministry alongside their Hispanic missionaries. Traveling to the countries where they serve, Juan and Raquel are able to understand at a deeper level what their life and ministry is like, and therefore know how to better serve them. Their goal is to offer missionary care to the Hispanic missionaries so that they are able to serve where God has called them and not feel so isolated and alone.

The other side of their ministry is Juan being heavily involved in the Mobile Bible Institute. World Reach has Bible Institutes in Honduras, Peru, and Colombia. A team of missionaries is currently working on a project to reconceptualize the classes and teaching methods. These courses are mainly for Pastors and leaders of local congregations. Each country is different, each with unique needs and contexts. The goal is to have courses that will minister to these pastors where they have the greatest need and produce men and women who walk with God and are able to address the needs of their church and community as Jesus calls us to do.

Juan Carlos and Raquel Jean are thankful for how God has used their life in missions to teach them. What they have learned has brought them to where they are today and has given them the tools they need to serve within World Reach at this time.
