Sacred Time: Mission (11.09.14 Sermon Audio)
November 10th, 2014 | John Chandler
John Chandler helped us think about how we see mission not as something we work into our schedule, but something that spans across our calendar.
Here are the quotes and links mentioned:
- “it is impossible to talk about church without at the same time talking about mission. Because God is a missionary God, God’s people are missionary people. The church’s mission is not secondary to its being; the church exists in being sent and in building up itself for its mission.” — David Bosch
- “In a pluralistic world in which we are privileged to learn from all religious and philosophical traditions, Christians still have a story to tell to the nations. Who knows— telling it may do no one so much good as ourselves.” — Walter Wink
- ‘“Mission” then is just shorthand to describe what it is for Christians to pursue their vocations to the glory of God and in ways that are oriented to the shalom of the kingdom.’ — James KA Smith/li>
- The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver
