The Biblical Basis of Missions
- Breakout Session
- Faith Hall 301 D/E
- March 23 2018 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Biblical missions is a response to a God of Love who invited us into an eternal relationship with Himself and made it possible through Christ. He commissioned us to invite the rest of the world into the same relationship with Him through the gospel. In this workshop, we will explore and examine together the biblical basis of missions, focusing on the mission of God as also the mission of the church and the mission of the individual members of Christ’s body. We will examine biblical narratives and commands that guide our conclusions of what God is doing in the world and why we should participate in what God is doing. We will highlight the incredible honor it is for the God of heaven and earth to commit to frail humans like us His eternal purpose of reconciling the world to Himself.
