“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has

become a new person. The old life is gone; a new

life has begun!” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT

“Jesus sent out the twelve apostles with these

instructions: ‘Don’t go to the Gentiles or the Samaritans,

but only to the people of Israel—God’s lost sheep. Go and announce to them that the Kingdom of Heaven is

near.

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and

cast out demons. Give as freely as you have

received!’... ‘Look, I am sending you out as sheep

among wolves.

So be as shrewd as snakes and harmless as doves.. But

beware! For you will be handed over to the courts and will be flogged with

whips in the synagogues. You will stand trial before

governors and kings because you are my followers.

But this will be your opportunity to tell the rulers and other unbelievers about me. You will stand trial before governors and kings because you are

my followers. But this will be your opportunity to tell the rulers and

other unbelievers about me. When you are arrested, don’t worry about

how to respond or what to say.

God will give you the right words at the right

time. For it is not you who will be speaking—it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through

you.’”

Matthew 10: 5-10, 16-20 NLT

“Human beings in a mob, What’s a mob to a king, what’s a king to a God

what’s a God to a non-believer who don’t

believe in anything.”

Chorus

The place where people are far from

God.

What is the Wild?

Going Into the

Wild is a

Rescue Mission!

1. Take us out of our comfort zone.

“If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.”

(Matthew 10:38-39 NLT

2. Courage to take bold steps

“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of

life, and the one who is wise saves lives”

Proverbs 11:30 NIV

“Here I am sending you out like sheep with wolves all

round you; so be as wise as serpents and yet as harmless

as doves. But be on your guard against men. For they will take you to the court and flog you in their synagogues

You will be brought into the presence of governors and

kings because of me—to give your witness to them and to

the heathen.”

Matthew 10:16-18 JBP

3.Lead with Compassion not condemnation

“A man with leprosy came and knelt in front of Jesus, begging to be healed. ‘If you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean,’ he said. Moved with compassion,

Jesus reached out and touched him. ‘I am willing,’ he said. ‘Be

healed!’”Mark 1:40-41 NLT

“Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the

boat, and he had compassion on them

because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them

many things.”

Mark 6:34 NLT

1. Lives are in Peril

“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one

and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have

a whole and lasting life.”John 3:16 MSG

2. Fulfill our purpose

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has

created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned

for us long ago. “ Ephesians 2:10 NLT

“So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is

making his appeal through us. We speak for

Christ when we plead, ‘Come back to God!’”

2 Corinthians 5:20 NLT

3. Please God

“The Lord isn't slow about keeping his promises, as some people think he is. In fact, God is patient, because he wants

everyone to turn from sin and no one to be lost.”

2 Peter 3:9 CEV
