For what purpose? Our desire is that God’s redeemed people absorb and apprehend the Missio Dei’s magnitude for all of Scripture and for every one of us. This will be accomplished through diligent study, shared understanding, and application of God’s Word from the life of Jesus in the Gospels. It will include examining the early Christian Church’s response following Jesus’ Ascension, the Day of Pentecost, and throughout the book of Acts. Important and inspired insights will be made using the ‘lens’ of the Mission Dei as seen in and applied to the life of Christ, his ministry, and his relationships. It will be recognized and applied to what happens in Acts and the early Christian Church, with vital application to our present context of personal vocations, congregations, and communities.

This content has been prepared to equip all leaders for impactful sharing with a variety of audiences – from the high schoolers in a youth group to adults in a home or small group setting. It would also be ideal for a Sunday, mid-week, or any day Bible Class or Fellowship Group at church, with ample time being allowed for discussion and application. This content is best shared with those who desire to better understand God’s purpose and direction for their lives. Those using this series will discover how the ‘lens’ of the Missio Dei is the all-important lens for reading and understanding the Scriptures, God, and His love for the world.
