Community and mission

Summary

The first Christians devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread and prayer, and the Lord added to their number day by day. The message shows that community and mission are not two separate projects but two sides of the same life.

Jesus sends us to all nations, starting with our own street. This week’s challenge is simple: invite one person to a meal, and listen before you speak. Mission grows at the table.

Key points

• Community and mission are the same life seen from two sides.
• The love among us is the first testimony to those outside.
• Mission begins on our street: an invitation, a meal, a conversation.
