On Mission
Matthew 28:16-20
Pastor Jayson Workman
South Gate Baptist Church — August 28th, 2022
Introduction
Being on mission with God means following Jesus’ final command.
- Element of availability (v. 16)
Matthew 28:7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.
1 Corinthians 15:6-7 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
Quote: “The greatest ability is availability.”
- Element of worship (v. 17)
- Element of submission (v. 18)
- Element of obedience (v. 19)
GOING: Wherever they are that do not know Christ, wherever you may go that Christ is not named. It may be your school, your neighborhood, maybe around the world some place — taking the gospel where we live, work, & play.
BAPTIZING: This was an outward visible sign of obedience. It was an overt act of obedience by which a person demonstrated the reality of salvation.
TEACHING: A person who comes to Christ is willing to learn. So, our burden is to teach whatever Christ commanded for his disciples to follow.
- Element of power (v. 20)
Prayer: “Lord you care about this more than I do, so do what you will. Lord, you love this people more than I do, so reach them.”

Something Greater
Matthew 6:25–34
Pastor Jayson Workman
South Gate Baptist Church — August 21, 2022
Introduction:
Do you have a religious reputation or a real relationship with Jesus?
Faith in God’s purpose and promises overcomes our fears.
- Calling—to live something greater
Jesus stands in the midst of our fears and call us to a life of faith.
- Challenge—to look at God’s promises instead of your problems
We maximize our problems and minimize God’s promises.
Quote: “Often times, the situation at hand looms larger in our minds than the promises of God.” —Jerry Bridges
Psalm 121:4 Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
- Confidence—to have enough faith to pursue God’s Kingdom
Quote: “We’re called to a life of faith, but faith isn’t natural to us. Doubt and worry are. So, God in grace works to craft faith in us.” —Paul Tripp
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
Quote: “God prefers the impossible. Although He cares for our needs before we know that we have them, His mighty acts are showcased best against the backdrop of insurmountable odds. Anything less would detract from His greatness.” —Edward Welch
Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
Quote: “Faith is about knowing God in an intimate, personal way and trusting God because He is trustworthy, Faith sees more, not less.”

Greater Than: Fierce Devotion
Pastor Jayson Workman
Matthew 6:16-18
August 7, 2022
Introduction:
John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
The secret to something greater is a fierce devotion to God.
- Confrontation of character (v. 16)
Their pursuit of REPUTATION was a choice to forfeit their REWARD.
CHARACTER > reputation
Pretending to be religious isn’t the same as pursuing Jesus.
- Cost of compromise (v. 16)
Compromised motives will compromise your reward.
- Calling to communion (vv. 17–18)
Do you have a religious reputation or a real relationship with Jesus?
Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith. . . .
A heart fiercely devoted is determined to remove distractions.

City on a Hill: Love Your Enemies
Worship Minister Derick Mickan
Matthew 5:43–48
July 17, 2022
Big Idea:
God’s calling on us is not OUTRAGE, but to ENGAGE the world around us.
John 3:17 [ESV] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.
- Loving your enemies involves a COUNTERINTUITIVE mindset. [vv. 43–45]
- Loving your enemies EXPOSES your motives. [vv. 46–47]
- Loving your enemies will mean MATURING in love. [v. 48]
Instead of displaying OUTRAGE, try showing love that REDEEMS.
- Begin dialogue with people instead of picking fights.
- Stop posting divisive things on social media.
- This week, specifically show love to someone who has opposed you.
John 13:34–35 [ESV] A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

City on a Hill: Integrity
Matthew 5:33-37
Pastor Jayson Workman
South Gate Baptist Church—July 10, 2022
Introduction:
A life of integrity is built when our words and actions are true.
- Resist looking for a loophole. (v. 33)
- Reflect the highest absolute truth. (vv. 34–36)
Proverbs 6:16-17 There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood. . . .
Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.
- Realize the importance of being truthful. (v. 37)
Deception destroys your character.
Luke 16:10 One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
Deception destroys relationships.
Deception destroys your witness.

City on a Hill: Marriage
Pastor Jayson Workman
Matthew 5:31–32; 19:1–9
Introduction:
Commitment flows out of a marriage when Christ is the cornerstone.
- The concern is not moral conformity. (vv. 19:1–3)
- The commitment is a covenant. (vv. 19:4–6)
Quote: “These words are often said in a perfunctory way, but they speak to the deep spiritual reality of marriage: it is something God has done. To think of it as anything less is to diminish it.” —Matt Chandler, Mingling of Souls
- The cornerstone is Christ.
Continue to pursue Christ.
Continue to pursue your spouse’s heart.
Continue to confess.
Quote: “Every failure in your life, every shortcoming, every stumble, every bloody knee, every broken nose is redeemed by Christ and used by the Holy Spirit to help shape, mold, and serve what’s behind you.” —Matt Chandler
