Here is the link to the Tim Keller Sermon I mentioned last night, The Cost of Mission. As we break up into Missional Communities over the next couple weeks, some of the ideas Keller throws out will be good to have on the front of our minds.
Give it a listen and then put a comment below about what the implications are for you.

After listening to Tim Keller’s message a few quotes of his dominated my thinking about missional living.
“When you see God as He really is, it destroys your consumer mentality, it destroys your what’s in it for me mentality”
“He will never bless you except to make you a blessing for someone else”
Tim reminds us that God blessed Abram in order to make him a blessing.
“You can’t be a blessing to others unless you are willing to lose things”
If we are not willing to risk things, money, reputation, time etc. we are not taking Jesus’ call on our lives seriously!!!
