Who are we? What is the church? In the New Testament, we see that we are not simply individuals, but we are the body of Christ, God's temple, united in truth and given the mission of making disciples. In The God Who Sends, students will learn that as the church of Jesus, we are a people on a mission. We are a people who serve others, enjoy fellowship with one another, and seek to obey the commands of our Savior as we go into all the world and make disciples. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was sent by the Father on His mission to seek and save the lost; the Son now sends us in the power of the Spirit to proclaim Jesus that the lost may be found.Features: 14 chapters3 devotionals per chapterGroup discussion questionsAuthors: Geoff Ashley is the Groups Pastor for The Village Church in Flower Mound, Texas.
