How we see people quickly becomes how we treat them, and churches can start sorting people fast.

Who can lead. Who needs help. Who is interested. Who is difficult. Who might fit somewhere.

That is understandable. Churches are made up of people, and people need to organize things.

But Paul says, “From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh”
(2 Corinthians 5:16).

That challenges how quickly we reduce people to what we can see right now.

Someone can be struggling and still carry dignity. Someone can resist Jesus and still be someone we are called to love. Someone can be uninvolved and still be someone God sees and honours.

And Paul does not stop at how we see people. He says God “reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation” (v.18), and then calls us “ambassadors for Christ” (v.20).

The people who needed reconciliation are brought close and then entrusted with participation. That is part of what makes the gospel so redemptive.

God does not only rescue people from what is broken. He honours them with relationship, belonging, and a place in what he is doing.

So if someone begins to follow Jesus, the goal is not simply to move them from outsider to attendee to volunteer. Formation takes time, but dignity does not. Our posture should already reflect the Kingdom we are inviting people into.

Instead of asking where someone fits, ask how we can help them follow Jesus and join what he is doing.

If evangelism is an invitation to follow Jesus, it cannot stop at getting people to gather.

Jesus calls the Twelve “so that they might be with him and that he might send them out” (Mark 3). He calls people close, forms them, and sends them.

There is an interesting detail in the Twelve. Matthew’s background might make him seem like the obvious person to handle the money. But Judas carried the money box (John 12; 13). Scripture does not tell us why, but Jesus does not appear to build the Twelve simply by matching people to the most obvious role.

Judas also gives us a warning. He followed with the Twelve, participated, and was sent. But he did not keep following.

So churches can be quick to ask: Where can we use this person?

Maybe the better questions are: Does this person want to follow Jesus? And how can we help them stay with him and go where he sends?

People are not resources to keep church activity moving. God is not dependent on our labour the way human organizations are. He does not call people because he needs help filling roles. He calls them close.

We are servants, but Jesus also calls us friends. In Christ we are children of God and fellow heirs with him. Participation is not something extracted from people God needs. It is an honour given to people he has brought close.

This also changes how we think about evangelism. Repentance is not necessarily feeling bad. It is turning because the Kingdom is here. Proclamation that only gathers people stops short. Discipleship that only keeps people gathered for activity stops short too.

So whether this is happening around a church table, in a family, among friends, or anywhere people are learning the way of Jesus: How are we helping people learn to hear and obey Jesus?

Churches can be full of people who believe Christian things, attend Christian gatherings, and still live largely untouched by Jesus.

The Gospels do not let us avoid that tension.

In Matthew 4, Jesus says to Peter and Andrew: “Follow me.”

They leave their nets and go with him. They do not know the whole road ahead. They know who is calling them.

Mark 10 gives us a different response.

A man runs to Jesus and asks what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus looks at him and loves him, then names the thing directing his life: “Go, sell everything you have…then come, follow me.”

He wants eternal life, but when following Jesus reaches his wealth, he walks away grieving. Jesus does not make the invitation easier.

But this is not “try harder” Christianity either. The disciples ask, “Then who can be saved?” Jesus answers, “With man this is impossible, but not with God.”

We cannot save ourselves, and we cannot manufacture the surrender Jesus asks for. So when we say, “Come follow Jesus with us,” that should describe something people can actually see.

People learning to hold homes, money, work, relationships, plans, and responsibilities under his direction. People making room for one another. People going where he sends.

Not perfectly. But actually.

For Supper Club, that has to reach beyond what happens when we gather. It should shape how we live in our homes, neighbourhoods, campuses, workplaces, and the ordinary places already in front of us.

Before “come follow Jesus with us” becomes our invitation to someone else, it has to describe the direction of our own life together.

Jesus still says: “Come after me.”

Do we want to go with him?

Churches are often intentional about marking the beginning of faith. We celebrate a decision to follow Jesus, and we baptize people as a public declaration of that faith.

But what happens when following Jesus begins to reorder where someone lives, who they give themselves to, and how they use their life?

Commissioning helps us recognize that.

Luke 10 shows Jesus forming and sending disciples into people’s actual lives. They are not responsible for controlling the outcome. They are responsible for faithfully participating in what Jesus is doing.

That should challenge how we measure church. How many came? How many stayed? How much did we build?

The discipleship question is: are people learning to follow Jesus and participate faithfully in what he is doing?

This week, we commissioned Joshua and Susan among students on campus, and Johoanne and Kanah in Cumberland. We prayed for them, blessed them, sent them, and committed to keep walking with them.

Please pray that they would know where Jesus is leading, love the people he has placed around them, depend on him, and remain faithful. Pray the same for us.

The question for the Church is bigger than whether we commission a few people well. It is whether we are becoming a church that knows how to form and send people at all.

As Supper Club moves toward a missional network, we do not want mission to sit with a few leaders while everyone else gathers around them. We want to gather in ways that form people around Jesus and send them faithfully into the places God has already given them.

Where is Jesus sending His people, and will we send then?

WHO WILL YOU INVITE?

This Sunday, we will share a meal at Hudson Park. When we invite someone, we make room to know them, learn from them and share the welcome and care Jesus has shown us.

Bring something if you can; come either way. Come ready to welcome others and let others welcome you. As we eat, we will ask: What is God doing, and how can we take part?

August 23 · 4 PM
Hudson Park · 13625 Cumberland Road NW

We want to keep asking that question after the picnic. As people follow Jesus in different places, we want to pray, build relationships and offer practical support.

Please pray:
- For Dr. Benzon as she relocates. Give thanks for the hospitality she has shared, and ask God to help more of us make room for others.
- For wisdom, strength and support for Malou and Edwin, and that every child in their care would know they are seen, loved and valued by God.
- For Joshua and Susan as they settle in Edmonton. Pray for relationships with students and their ministry at the University of Alberta.

If you or someone you know is serving Jesus through everyday life, message us (with their permission if you are sharing someone else’s story). We would like to listen and discern together how Supper Club could pray, connect or offer support.

Jesus has made room for us. Come to the table, make room for someone else and be ready to receive from them too.

One meal. One prayer. One neighbourhood at a time.

Why seek the kingdom first if our concerns may remain?

Jesus speaks to people concerned about food, clothing, security, and tomorrow. He does not dismiss their needs or shame their anxiety. He reminds them that their Father already knows, and says honestly, “Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:32–34).

For many of us, these concerns are close to home. Groceries, housing, and utilities take more of the paycheque; healthcare can involve long waits; and family responsibilities stretch across a busy city. We may want to care for a neighbour while our own capacity feels thin.

Matthew 6 addresses a community. The “you” is plural. Jesus is forming a people who name their needs, share responsibility, and trust the Father together, not offering isolated advice for managing anxiety alone.

Our concerns are real and worth naming. Fear can alert us, and urgency can get our attention. Matthew 6 invites us to notice whether they have also begun to lead us, and to return the first and decisive word to Jesus.

Often, the kingdom invitation is found within what we already carry: receiving help, pursuing reconciliation, practicing generosity, accepting our limits, making room for someone, or asking another person to stand next to us.

Nehemiah gives us a picture of this. Ordinary people receive the work within reach and carry it next to one another.

Faithfulness does not require solving every tomorrow before obeying God today.

Name one concern before God, share it with someone you trust, receive your part, and entrust the outcome to the Father.

Renewal requires responsibility, but responsibility does not require anxiety.
