Outposts of the Truth: A Church-centered View of Missions

In our current evangelical landscape, there is much confusion about church missions. Much of this confusion can be demystified by embracing a biblical, church-centered view of missions. This class will drink deeply from key Biblical passages to sharpen our focus on church-centered missions. We will consider how God’s heart has always been for the Nations – to gather souls from the ends of the earth into one people as a reward for the Lamb who was slain! We will marvel at God’s design to use local churches as outposts of His truth in this world.

The Letter of James

The apostle James, the oldest half-brother of Jesus, was a key leader in the Jerusalem church.  During the early days of the young church, the Jewish believers had been scattered by persecution.  Out of compassion, James wrote this epistle to confront them and motivate them to test the quality and consistency of their faith.  In this short and powerful book, James give us practical guidance on issues that also measure our living faith and spiritual fruitfulness.  He encourages us to “be doers of the word, and not hearers only,” to “draw near to God,” and “to be patient… until the coming of the Lord” (James 1:22; 4:8; 5:7).  James calls all believers—then and now—to live a life that demonstrates saving faith marked by godly behavior.
