We are a forgetful people in a land of distractions. Our minds are easily captivated by trivial and temporary inducements. New things quickly become old. In our mind’s eye even glory tends to fade and warnings tend to wane. It is no wonder that we who are invisibly united to Christ and visibly in and not of this world live in constant need of renewal. And what is true for the Christian is true for the church. This is a series that seeks to renew the mind of the church. Not so much by reviewing what she is called to do as much as what she is called. As with the Christian so with church, her God-given identity defines her. We who are the church are a people for God and none other.
Before we return to the book of Romans, we will be looking at the what scripture says about the Church, in its nature, how she expresses herself in song, and how the church cares and equips for its members.

The Father's Passion for Missions
The Father’s passion for missions is to sum up all things in his Son so that for all eternity every nation, tribe, people, and tongue will offer Spirit-empowered worship to him who sits on the throne and the Lamb. Even today, as we gather and are equipped for the “work of ministry,” we scatter for the purpose of mission as an act of worship as priests and ambassadors of our Triune God.
