Last week I had the opportunity of bring four evening messages at the Oregon Christian Convention. This was the 158th year of the convention. I’ve been to the convention many times in my life; it is part of who I am. It was an honor to be asked to speak.
My title was Unfinished Agenda: His Commissions, Our Commission. I spoke on Creation Care, poverty, prayer, and the Great Commission. My aim was to show the our Lord gave many commissions, not just one (Mt. 28:18-20). The title for the final message was “The Greater Commission,” and my conclusion was to say that mission is all about relationships: our relationship with God, our relationship with others; and our relationship with Creation.
Robyn joined me for several days, and it was great to have time with my Oregon family: Mom and Dad, my two sisters and their husband, my aunt and uncle and cousin who hosted me.
