TITLE: The Purpose of the Church #2 – Mission

SPEAKER: Dean Sandham

SCRIPTURE PASSAGE: Acts 17:16-34

SERIES: Being Christ’s Church

Ove these three weeks we’re looking at the three different purposes of the Church. Starting with “Worship”, this week we look at the second toping of “Mission”; let’s consider that phrase we hear John Piper writing about in his book “Let the Nations Be Glad”, Mission exists because Worship Doesn’t.

In this 10 week sermon series, we are goin to take an indepth look at being a Biblical Church.  Knowing our Identity as Christ’s Church is fundamental for the Christian, because our lives are designed to be lived in community.  Jesus has saved us not just as individuals but as ‘His people, a Holy Nation’ and we only truly find our identity as a believer when we find our identity in the Church.
