*Does our Church smell like Mission?*
*Ephesians 1:3-14*
!!!!! /Spiritual Blessings in Christ /
/ 3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, /
/who has blessed us in the heavenly realms /
/with every spiritual blessing in Christ./
/ 4For he chose us in him before the creation of the world /
/to be holy and blameless in his sight./
/ In love 5he predestined us to be adopted as God’s children /
/through Jesus Christ, /
/in accordance with his pleasure and will— /
/6//to the praise of his glorious grace, /
/which he has freely given us in the One he loves./
/ 7In him we have redemption through his blood, /
/the forgiveness of sins, /
/in accordance with the riches of God's grace /
/8//that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.
/
/9//And he made known to us the mystery of his will /
/according to his good pleasure, /
/which he purposed in Christ, /
/10//to be put into effect/
/ when the times will have reached their fulfillment—/
/to bring all things in heaven and on earth together /
/under one head, even Christ.
/
/11//In him we were also chosen,/
/having been predestined according to the plan/
/of him who works out everything /
/in conformity with the purpose of his will//, /
/12//in order that we//, who were the first to hope in Christ, /
/might be for the praise of his glory.
/
/13//And you also were included in Christ /
/when you heard the word of truth, /
/the gospel of your salvation.
/
/Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal,/
/the promised Holy Spirit, /
/14//who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance/
/ until the redemption of those who are God's possession—/
/to the praise of his glory./

!!! 2 Corinthians 2:14-17
/ 14But thanks be to God, /
/who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ /
/and through us spreads everywhere /
/the fragrance of the knowledge of him//.
/
/15//For we are to God the aroma of Christ /
/among those who are being saved /
/and those who are perishing.
/
/16//To the one we are the smell of death; /
/to the other, the fragrance of life.
/
/And who is equal to such a task?
/
/17//Unlike so many, /
/we do not peddle the word of God for profit.
/
/On the contrary, /
/in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, /
/like men sent from God./

\\ *Overview*
Over the next several weeks
our worship themes will deal with
the topic of the purpose of the church…
namely to spread everywhere
the fragrance of the knowledge of Jesus.
To help us keep the Big Picture in mind,
I want to invite us
To nurture a holy curiosity
about what God is up to in the world.
*We want to ask ourselves:*
*“What is God doing?*
* And where do I fit in?”*
If we can’t remember anythink else
Let’s remember this question:
*What is God doing?*
* And where do I fit in?*
Have you stopped to think about
the purpose of the church lately?
Why are we here?
What does God want from us?
As Individual Christians?
And as a community of Christ’s disciples gathered together?
Are we fulfilling God’s will and purpose for His church?
Since the beginning of creation
God has wanted to be in relationship with us.
God created us for relationship with Himself.
But, we have not wanted to played along…
We are indeed a stumbling bunch of fools.
We have missed the mark
and gone our own stubborn way so many times.
And still,
God did not give up on us.
Instead, God has shown Himself throughout History
As a God of Reconciliation.
In the end, God sent His Son
To show us just how serious he is about
Our relationship with Him.
And even more,
God invites us to respond to His Call
And to be ambassadors of Reconciliation.

In our text from Ephesians we get the sense
that God wants us to be partners with Him
in his work of bringing everything
under one head – namely Christ.
He has /revealed to us -/
