In this bible talk by Ryan Dehnert we continue looking at God’s mission in the world, and see that both the goal and method of God’s saving mission is the church. Not only are we saved to belong to God’s church, but it’s through the community of God’s church proclaiming the gospel together and living out the gospel together that the people of our world are welcomed into the people of God, and relationship with God. The bible shows us that mission to the world is not something that takes place outside the context of church, and that church is essentially for Christians. Instead, In the way we do things at church and the way we love and serve one another as a church, our world sees a striking picture of the community God has created through the death of his Son.
Key Verse
