The Missional Quest – Becoming a Church of the Long Run
Inter-Varsity Press,US (Verlag)
978-0-8308-4105-9 (ISBN)
When Christ calls people, he invites them on a journey—a journey taken together in community.
We have reached a point in history, however, when we think of the church as a fixed place where isolated individuals show up, consume a Christian message, drink some coffee, and get on with their lives. The times demand, and the gospel proclaims, that we recover our identity as a church that is a people on a quest for the kingdom of heaven, formed intimately by a loving God and called onto a long journey for the sake of our neighbors and our world.
In The Missional Quest you?ll learn how to take your church on a long run, and how to sustain yourselves and one another along the way, through the power of God for the sake of the world.
