Mission of the church

The Mission of the Church
I have enjoyed reading recently Tom Wright’s book ‘Surprised by Hope’. The second section of this book is an excellent discussion on the mission of the church in the light of the centrality of the resurrection. In it Wright encourages us to rethink some of our basic truths like salvation and the Kingdom. Based on some of these thoughts and my own pursuit of the Kingdom message I spoke a couple of weeks back on the theme -the Mission of the Church.

What do you think of when you hear the term ‘Kingdom of God’
by Richard Brown
The Kingdom is being talked about more and more. Because it is a big concept there are many ways we can look at and explore its meaning and application for our lives. In this article Richard Brown looks at some of the key concepts that Jesus introduced which were radical to the minds of his listeners who had quite different expectations when they thought of the Kingdom of God.

Networking the Kingdom message
There are many ways to promote the message of the Kingdom. We have developed a few and are always keen to hear of other ways.
- We have a website with articles, MP3s which is attracting traffic from all around the world. If you havent visited it yet it is Rediscovering the Kingdom
- This newsletter is sent out each month free to people around the world – please add the names of friends who you think would like to receive their own copy -see ‘forward to friend’ link in the side column.
- We have started a forum on Facebook which you can join by linking up with me Derek Brown on Facebook
- I am involved in various networking groups in our area that include ministers and para church groups who have a heart for the Kingdom. You could start something similar in your area. Working together and encouraging each other is a big part of the practical outcomes of the Kingdom.
- Linking with other sites – recently we were approached to place our articles and MP3s on a website called This Side of the Cross – which has a range of articles and resources This Side of the Cross
