7 on Mission

I continued our “Becoming 7” series this weekend at Eastbrook with a message called “7 on Mission.” This series is an overview of our vision for the year, focusing on our big five vision objectives: becoming a Revelation 7:9-10 church; growing disciples; reaching out; multiplying leaders; and increasing church engagement. Sometimes we aim to become a “10” but in this series we will talk about why we are aiming for “7” instead.

You can also follow the entire series at our web-site, through the Eastbrook app, or through our audio podcast.

Becoming 7 (Revelation 7:9-10)

“There before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.” (Revelation 7:9)

The Movement of Mission (Acts 1:8; Luke 24:46-49) 

• Called to life in Jesus
• Called to power in the Holy Spirit
• Called to witness in word and deed
• Called to the other – the nations

Four Tensions

• The inward / outward life of the church
• The church focused on Jesus / the church focused on others
• The power of God / the work of the church
• The church at peace with God / the church at odds with the world

Becoming 7 on Discipleship

• Our goal at Eastbrook
