6 Week Study begins Tuesday, September 10 * 6:30pm
CHANGE the WORLD — Recovering the Message and Mission of Jesus
Linking Bible study to global mission and local service projects, this six-session
small group resource enables congregations to discuss and act on the imperatives of scripture.
Each week, participants will read and discuss a gospel story, watch a video profiling an inspiring, world-changing mission effort, and envision together how they
can change the world locally and globally. Participants won’t just read about Jesus feeding the 5000 or healing the lepers, but will be inspired by contemporary
ministries feeding the poor and preventing malaria. Participants will be challenged to take a leading role in the congregation’s missional efforts, serving in a
homeless shelter as a group, raising funds for disaster relief, or planning a church
-wide day of service.
Jesus called us to follow him, to live a life of active faith, feeding the poor, healing the sick, welcoming the alien, and rescuing the desperate. It’s easy to get
stuck in our religious habits of just going to church, tossing a few bucks in the
offering plate, and occasionally reading our Bible—but Jesus has bigger plans for
us. We are called to be his hands and feet in the world. He wants to use us to
change the world.
Study sessions begin with a potluck. Please sign-up in the Memorial Room.
Questions may be directed to Pastor Dave.
