Welcome to Day 2659 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2659 – Mission Sunday - Gilberto and Helen Filsinger Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2659 of our trek. The purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Each Tuesday, I will share the messages I have delivered at Putnam Congregational Church this year. This past Sunday was a special Mission Sunday, so the message today was presented by Gilberto and Helen Filsinger, who are missionaries to Brazil and are supported by our church. I pray it will be a conduit for learning and encouragement for you.

A remarkable journey unfolds as Saya transitions from struggling under Congo's dictatorship to becoming a transformative peacemaker in both the United States and Africa. Through God's grace, he established the Good Friend ministry in Kikwit, Congo, serving albinos, teen mothers, and people with disabilities. This ministry exemplifies true peacemaking by addressing internal conflicts and challenging societal strongholds that create brokenness. The work continues to grow, focusing on practical needs like construction, water access, and medical supplies, while inspiring others to become peacemakers in their own communities.

In this sermon, Karl Ihfe outlines the church's recent focus on missions, stemming from a season of prayer and discernment. Survey results showed members' desire for emphasis on local missions, long-term partnerships, empowering indigenous workers, and intentionality in mission work. Ihfe discusses key partnerships like the children's home, Open Door, and Carpenter's Kitchen. The sermon delves into Biblical passages, including Matthew 28:16-20 and Romans 10:9-15, to underscore the importance of sharing the gospel. Ihfe uses these scriptures to remind the congregation of their role in God's mission. He shares a story about high school students providing prom dresses as an example of living out the gospel in practical ways. Ihfe concludes by challenging the church to be "the sermon" in their daily lives, encouraging members to seek opportunities to share God's love in their communities. He announces the church's plan to support members in local mission efforts, matching funds for various outreach initiatives. https://bwaychurch.org

A representative from Global Fingerprints will join us to share practical ways we can embody this mission for those in need in Central Asia.Luke 4:16-21Andy Kvernen

The work of spreading the Gospel happens when we decide to submit to Jesus's authority and go. Fr. Peter Lebhar encourages us to examine ourselves and see where Jesus is inviting us to work with him.If you like what you see, we hope you'll join us in person if you're in the area.

Morning lessons: Psalms 127,128; Exodus 3; Matthew 9:18-34.  Unless the Lord build the house, their labor is in vain who build it.

This Mission Sunday, we are filled with faith and expectation for all that God has in store for us in 2025. We believe this is a season of breakthrough, where God is calling us—our incredible church family—to take another step in faith, trusting Him with greater courage and reliance. Throughout scripture, God's people stepped forward in faith toward His promises, and now we believe it's our time to do the same. As we gather across our global locations, we'll hear inspiring stories of faith and see how God is moving powerfully through our church to bring hope and love to the world.

This week in The Grove we celebrated Mission Sunday.

In this LifePoint Church sermon, Pastor Nathan delivers a sermon centered around Luke chapter 9. He emphasizes the importance of being both ministry consumers and providers, and urges listeners to respond to God's calling, even when it is uncomfortable. Through biblical anecdotes and personal experiences, Pastor Nathan highlights the vital aspects of discipleship, the generosity of God's grace, and the global mission of spreading the gospel.

Pastor Chris leads us through our 2024 financial report as we continue our fiscal transparency and ac-countability with one another. After walking us through the report, we receive an update on the comple-tion of our Building Project and the excitement of our present moment and near future.

In the finale to our Dream Big series at Fusion Christian Church, we look at how we can expand the kingdom of God. As we celebrate our Missions Sunday, Pastor Zac interviews missionaries from both local and global ministries supported by Fusion Christian Church. We have so many ministries to get involved with, so pray about how you can get involved with either your time or your giving. Evan and Pam - YWAM in JapanOur time starts with a video update from Evan and Pam in Japan. They update the church on what they have been doing for the last year. From disaster relief and festival outreach to college ministry and team coordination, the couple have been busy. On top of all the missions work, they introduce the newest addition to their family: baby Olive. Continue to pray for the work they do bringing the gospel to Sendai, Japan.Project Touch - Temecula ValleyProject Touch is one of Fusion Christian Church's oldest ministry partners. They are a homeless outreach program that attempts to get people back on their feet. Anne, a longtime friend of the church, heads up the program and gives some updates on the ministry along with a new building project.Birth Choice - Temecula ValleyBirth Choice is a local pregnancy resource center. They strive to save babies from abortion by providing resources and assistance to parents in need of help. Hear from Jessica as she explains more about the ministry, shares an encouraging story, and tells us how to get involved. Circle of Care - Temecula ValleyChuck and Terri run Circle of Care, a local foodbank that regularly provides groceries to hundreds of struggling families in the area. Hear from them as they describe the unique challenges and blessings of a relational ministry like theirs. They also describe some of the needs they have, so if it is on your heart and within your ability to fill a need, reach out to us to get connected.Olive Crest/Strong Families - Riverside CountyStrong Families is a ministry underneath the Olive Crest umbrella that seeks to provide short-term care for children in need. This is a hospitality ministry that steps in to offer support to families who have nowhere else to turn. Addison describes the sort of situation that Strong Families is able to help with and how you can help.Student Venture - Temecula ValleyMonty and Karen head up Student Venture, a program which works within the school system to reach 6th-12th grade students. The program seeks to win kids to Christ, build them up, and send them out to do the same again. Monty describes the unique way that Student Venture is able to connect with students and change lives. Camino de Vida - Lima, PeruNext, we receive a video update from Nick Balcombe in Peru. Theirs is another ministry that Fusion Christian Church has supported for a very long time. Camino de Vida (Way of Life) church in Lima is a massive church that reaches thousands of people throughout Peru. Hear from Nick and continue to pray for their success in preaching the gospel.World Mission Adventure - InternationalMark and Debbie Blum are the founders of World Mission Adventure and longtime friends of Pastor Zac and his wife Laura. They work to set up mission trips and send people to many places around the world. They believe that going on a mission trip will provide help in foreign countries and change the perspective of Christians who go.Casa Esperanza - Ensenada, MexicoCasa Esperanza began as a shelter for women and children and has now expanded their ministry to offer schooling to the children there. Gabriel and Gabbi offer the sincerest thanks for the support we've given and describe the unique ministry challenges they face.

Jesus said to go to the whole world and make disciples. In fact, Jesus came to seek and save the lost and He gave us the task of continuing that ministry. Missions matter to us because it mattered to Jesus.

What does it mean to truly live out your faith? Missions Sunday invites us to reflect on the picture of heaven painted in Revelation 7—a great multitude from every nation and tongue, united in worship before the throne of God. This vision challenges us to live as people redeemed by His grace, to praise Him for the victory that's already ours, and to share His eternal love with a world longing for hope. As you listen, consider this: Where is God calling you to make an eternal impact? Step into His purpose for your life today. Take your next step with us at www.burnthickory.com/next. Special Guest: Chris White.

We think we're blessing the nations when we give generously...and we are, BUT we too often fail to acknowledge the blessings we receive when we dig deep and give.

Mark 13:1-8As Jesus came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what large stones and what large buildings!” Then Jesus asked him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left upon another, all will be thrown down.”When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him, privately, “Tell us, when will this be and what will be the sign that all of these things are about to be accomplished?” Then Jesus began to say to them, “Beware that no one leads you astray. Many will come in my name and say, ‘I am he,' and they will lead many astray. When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is still to come. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. This is but the beginning of the birth pangs.” Hooray for a Gospel text about the impermanence and seeming unimportance of temples, stones, synagogues, and buildings on Commitment Sunday for the Building and Outreach Fund. All of this, will indeed, be thrown down and turned to dust someday.But I hope you agree with Jesus, of course.As focused and as fierce as we've been about building this place and paying off our mortgage and all that has gone into that, over the course of our congregation's short life together, we've always tried to be faithful about the truth that the Church is not a building; that our identity and purpose isn't always, ever, or only about having an address, or about merely what happens inside these walls. We were very much “the Church” before we called any of this home and we are very much “the Church” when we're not gathered here. We are very much “the Church” even when – especially when – we're doing our thing, living our lives out there in the world, for the sake of the world. And horray for a text that taps in to so much of the fear, angst and anxiety that so many are feeling about life in the world these days – wars and rumors of wars; nation rising up against nation; earthquakes, famine, natural disasters and more that make you think maybe the beginning of the end might actually be right around the corner.Because of all that, our call is to bring the Kingdom – to see and to celebrate what God has already begun, in Jesus – and work to make God's will and God's way come to life among us and through us and for the sake of the world … here on earth as it is in heaven; to make the Kingdom of this world look and be more like God's Kingdom, on the other side of heaven.Which is why our Building and Outreach Fund matters, as we wonder about and make commitments to support it this morning and in the days to come. Yes, some portion of it all is about the bricks, the mortar, the “stones” that will, one day, all be thrown down and turned to dust, as Jesus promises. But the rest of it is about bringing the kingdom, doing the work, sharing the life and grace and mercy of God wherever and however we are able.Last week, one of my favorite preachers invited us to do a few things in response to the state of things following our country's recent election, regardless of how we may be feeling about all of that. Pastor Cogan suggested that, if things didn't go our way, we should share our fear, our anxiety, and our sadness about that with those who did get what they wanted. And he suggested that, if we are the latter – if things went as we hoped they would – we should listen to the concerns and needs of our struggling neighbors who are feeling scared, unseen, and worried about the days to come.In other words, some of what I heard from Pastor Cogan last week was an invitation to listen to each other and get to work.And I've done that. I've received texts and e-mails. I've had sit-downs over lunch, spontaneous conversations in the library, seen tears in my office, felt the anger expressed – in passing – in the hallway and at the drug store, because there just aren't enough of the right words sometimes.Now, I haven't and I won't have all the answers for all of that at every turn. But I will risk playing both sides against the middle – or something like that, this morning – in order to find a middle-ground of grace and hope no matter where we find ourselves with regard to all of it.See, as I wondered about today – searching for some hope in light of all of our collective mixed emotions (happy/sad, relieved/anxious, victorious/lost, hopeful/despairing) – I came away grateful for this place, for our ministry, and for the work we do that responds with action in real time to the things that can and should concern all of us these days. In an otherwise divided, fractured country, the mission and ministry of this place calls us to some common ground and some holy work.For instance, if it was “the economy, stupid” that informed your vote last Tuesday … if the price of groceries and gas was enough to make you vote a certain way, I'm so glad we have a food pantry that is meeting that need for so many of our neighbors. (Don't forget, our Mission Sunday this month is to provide Thanksgiving dinners for people in our community. $50 bucks will help provide a meal with all the fixins for someone who might not otherwise be able to celebrate.) That is the Lord's work, regardless of your politics.Or if abortion care, abortion access, and the health of women and babies was an issue that inspired your vote – one way or the other – whether you got what you wanted, or not – I hope you noticed that we gave $5,000 to the Milk Bank with our Outreach Grants this year. This is money, and they are an organization, that supports the health and wellness of women and infants, in crisis, in powerful ways – no matter the politics that lead to their distress or need – and that will hopefully help to mitigate more of that distress or need, come what may.If you're concerned about the status of immigration in our country, please know that we gave $10,000 to Exodus Refugee Immigration this past year, thanks to our Outreach grants, too. (And some of us helped at their headquarters on “God's Work. Our Hands.” Sunday, in September.) Exodus protects the human rights and dignity of refugees fleeing persecution and war, and helps them get settled safely in central Indiana. This is faithful, Biblically-mandated, Christ-centered work. And our generosity helps make it happen.If you are concerned about the quality of public education and the equity with which it is offered in our state or in our nation – and some of my favorite teachers have told me that we should be – I hope you're encouraged to know we also gave $10,000 to Brightlane Learning's “School on Wheels” this year. They offer tutoring, academic support, and advocacy to kids and families – grades K through 12 – who are struggling with homelessness and housing insecurity, while trying to get a quality education.If you feel like the status and place of women in our culture has taken a hit again in recent days, I hope you're encouraged by our $10,000 grant to Talitha Koum's recovery house for women. That money and that ministry over in Greenfield helps women, specifically, recover from addiction and trauma, and get back on their feet to become healthy and whole again, for their own good, and for the good of our world.So, again, if our call is to bring the Kingdom of God to bear in and upon the kingdoms of this world, we are doing that in real time, for real people, in real, practical, tangible ways, that really matter.And there are beautiful, faithful, inspiring, intangible ways to facilitate and accomplish that through our life together, too.Witnessing the love between two people – in marriage, as we did this morning already at our first service – is a glimpse and a gift of that, for sure. It speaks to commitment and love and hope in ways that can't be measured, but practiced, nonetheless. Making our confession, receiving our forgiveness; sharing the sacraments in bread, wine, and water and all the good news they portend; passing the peace; loving our neighbor; forgiving our enemy. None of these things can be quantified like so much grant money, but they can be witnessed, felt, received; and they are our life blood, purpose, and inspiration for all the rest.All of this is to say, I see a lot of platitudes and clichés about how we're supposed to get along – as friends, as family members, as neighbors, and as people in the Church in the days ahead – in spite of the differences that threaten to divide us. That is so much easier said, than done – which is something else I hear and feel when I listen to my neighbor, and to many of you.But it's been said that the local church is the hope of the world – and I believe it. It is a tall order. It is a daunting task. It can feel like an impossible, exhausting expectation, for sure. But it is nonetheless why we do what we do – if not to redeem the lot of it, then to point to the hope of the only one who can, who does, and who will, one day – Jesus Christ, our Lord.Amen
