The purpose of this document is to attest that in every genre of Scripture exists a foundation of missions. As Ralph Winter said: “The Bible is not the basis of missions; missions is the basis of the Bible.” May you, as the reader, reach that same conclusion after considering these examples from the library of Holy Scripture...

BEING PRESENT - MAX BARROSO
I often think, how many times has God given me an opportunity to do something so unique, but I am not able to hang in long enough, fully present and fully engaged, to see where it can go? It is not easy to approach life and ministry in that way, expectantly. I am talking about those different things in life that all of the sudden can take away your focus, then you miss a gem of a moment. God may be giving you different opportunities of encounters or to be able to do something that really matters. Don’t miss your “snow leopard”.

RELATIONSHIPS - Madeline nix
What is a relationship? A relationship is not a relationship unless both people are involved. If you think you are in a relationship with someone but you do not talk to them, it’s probably time to reevaluate because that is not a relationship. The same goes for our relationship with God...

ApologeTICs - Max Barroso
When talking about Apologetics, many times, because we're talking about defending our faith, we feel like we have to jump in and get into an argument and we need to win. What I've come to find over the years is that every time I've done that, I won an argument and I've lost a battle. The older I get and the more experience I have in serving Jesus, I’ve come to remember the words of Jesus “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, by your love” and not by your brain. The defense of our faith is an act of love.

Calling - Max Barroso
One of the biggest things that every single generation struggles with is this notion and balance between purpose, gifting and calling. The age old question, what is God gonna do with my life? What is my calling?

In the pit - Max barroso
The life of Joseph could be titled “a series of unfortunate events”. He’s a leader that is doing everything “right’ but is left forgotten in the pit. Some of us are walking exactly like Joseph. You are sitting here with a track record of over a decade of faithfulness but you're also pleading with God, saying, do not forget me here. I want to talk to you about hope in the pits.

The church - josh Lafferty
Our question was not did they pray? Our question was not did they lift their hands in worship? Our question was not did they dance? Her question was not did they cry? Our question is not did they come to the altar? Our question is, did they go from a place of having no faith to having faith? And did the God of the universe come and take up residence in them? That's our question. Christianity should be so real in us that people can look at you and say, “man there’s something about that person right there. It's just something about that person”

Teaching on Philemon - max barroso
We’re going to be looking at leadership and the practice of leadership in an everyday context, working with this generation. I like to call it “Upside down leadership.” What if I told you today, that in order to lead in this generation effectively, you’re going to have to look at leadership upside down. Join me in the incredible letter written by the apostle Paul to Philemon.

Holiness - Max Barroso
Many of of us have been done a big disservice in the way we grew up hearing about and thinking of Holiness. Sometimes you hear something so often that the word begins to loose its meaning, and unfortunately when it comes to Holy or Holiness we have reduced it to morality. As we look at Isaiah's experience in the throne room, we can pull some deep truths about what it means to live a life of Holiness.
