What Greg Thompson Can Teach Us About Living as Christians in Cities

Stories of Hope: A Reason to Be Generous

Why Work Is at the Heart of God’s Mission

Almost every Sunday morning at church, as we finish the final songs and benediction (and I prepare to pick up my crew of girls from Sunday School – now four!), I find myself asking the same question: What is the Church sent into the world to do? This is a question that my friends in […]
