God Wants Partners in His Mission

God wants partners in His mission.

If you’re a mechanic who needs to fix the engine of a car, the most inefficient thing you can do is ask your toddler for help. If you’re a rocket scientist, how wise is it to ask a pre-algebra student to look over the calculations for your current project? If you’re an architect in need of a second opinion on the design you’re working on, is your child who recently discovered Lego going to be your best consultant?

It’s easy to see in these relatively high-stakes situations why it would be a bad idea for these experts to call on children for help.

Yet, God – the creator and sustainer of the universe, with wisdom, power, and abilities far beyond anything we could ever imagine – invites his children to help him do his work all the time.

In week two of our series Passion & Pursuit, we see God’s heart and his method for inviting even the most stubborn of his children to join him in his plan to bring hope and healing to the world.
