Change the World - Recovering the Message and Mission of Jesus a Study for Small Groups (Paperback)

Jesus called us to follow him, to live a life of active faith, feeding the poor, healing the sick, welcoming the alien, and rescuing the desperate. It s easy to get stuck in our religious habits of just going to church, tossing a few bucks in the offering plate, and occasionally reading our Bible but Jesus has bigger plans for us. We are called to be his hands and feet in the world. He wants to use us to change the world. Change the World: A Study for Small Groups links Bible study to global mission and local service project. This six-session small group resource enables congregations to discuss and act on the imperatives of scripture. Each week, participants will read and discuss a gospel story, watch a video profiling an inspiring, world-changing mission effort, and envision together how they can change the world locally and globally. Participants won t just read about Jesus feeding the 5000 or healing the lepers, but will be inspired by contemporary hunger-relief and medical missions. Participants will be challenged to take a leading role in the congregation s missional efforts, serving in a homeless shelter as a group, raising funds for disaster relief, or planning a church-wide day of service.
