Mission Studies

A man will only gain the power to live free once he has found the purpose worthy of his death. What if the most dangerous thing in our lives as men is a desire for safety? What if the reason men feel so unfulfilled is that we are spending so much time trying to fill ourselves? What if the freedom you long for is actually locked behind the sacrifices you are running from? The world is lying to us. Everywhere a man looks, the messaging has been carefully orchestrated to keep us in bondage: “Just do what makes you feel good. Pain is evil. Responsibility is a burden. Sacrifice is bad.” And ...

Just like we do today, the writers and chief actors of the Old Testament felt a deep longing for the presence of God. It is symbolized in the temple ruins, and before it the temple itself, and before that the ark of the covenant and the tabernacle that housed it, and before that the Garden of Eden. In response to this longing, God shares his ultimate mission, in which his people play a part: the expansion of Eden, the temple of God's presence, to all peoples throughout the earth.

Highly regarded biblical scholar and speaker Christopher Wright shows us that how we read the Bible has a profound impact on how we understand what mission is. According to Wright, "People read (and preach) the Bible in tiny bits and pieces, for its promises or rules or doctrines, and fail to take it . . . as the true story of the universe, past, present, and future, within the plan and purposes of God—a story in which we are called to participate as coworkers with God." Wright encourages us to explore the Bible's grand narrative.

For many Christians, the book of Revelation inspires confusion and fear. It's seen as a coded screenplay for the end times, or it's just too strange to understand. The problem, Dean Flemming contends, is that when we read Revelation as focused on the future, we miss what it says about what God is doing in the world now. Revelation is one of the richest texts in Scripture for understanding both God's mission to make everything new and how the church is caught up in that mission.
