Missional Church: Simple

Churches on mission look like the New Testament Church. Really, we can call it whatever we want - missional, radical , emerging , or whatever nomenclature your crew likes to use. Look through the book of Acts in the New Testament and you'll find God
scattering His people through persecutions and suffering throughout the world with the Gospel on there lips meeting needs as they have the opportunity in the Power of the Holy Spirit.

Now, we wouldn't long for suffering and intense persecution to hit the American (or Global) church, but God's sovereign hand was behind the scattering of the believers, that He might get the Gospel to the world. This is God's mission - to redeem and restore the sinfully broken world by reconciling it back into personal relationship with Him through the Death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus the Christ - the GodMan. In this mission we are called to engage with God (not for God). It's His church, His mission, His glory.

This video states with creative simplicity and humor the DNA of the Biblically Missional church. Enjoy!
