There is a burning desire in the heart of God to bring the nations to himself. It isn’t because he in any way needs something outside of himself to be complete. It is because God himself is love—persons in perfect communion. From the very nature of his being he has created all things and invites humanity into the joy he offers and is.
That invitation is proclaimed by those called “the church.” They are the “called out” ones who are also sent out into all the world. They are compelled by the very love of God himself shed abroad in their hearts—the personal embodiment of the presence and reconciling work of Christ. They are the gospel enfleshed—men and women, boys and girls, with hearts turned out in love for the nations, who will go to whatever lengths necessary to fulfill their mission and calling.
“Destinations” is a mission-focused sermon series that explores the grandness and scope of God’s call to his church to proclaim the gospel in both word in deed, both near and far.

For the Glory of God
Oct 30, 2022 • 36:49
The ultimate purpose for missional living, giving, and going is not the alleviation of human suffering, the fight for real justice in society, or even the rescue of souls from an eternity in Hell. Those purposes, however Biblical, noble, and right are subordinate to the even higher purpose of the…
