[ 4. Where we're going - God's mission and ministry ] 

church cross To make any journey successfully, you need to know where you’re going!  For a successful mission, you need your marching orders or a clear statement of the objective.  And images of map, compass or satellite navigation systems come to mind.  If we are to live for God, we need to understand what is his purpose for this planet and it will help to have some idea of how things have developed so far.  Where does the church fit into all this? Is it to save people into, or is it a base from which we go out in support of God’s rescue work on the whole of creation?  And just how can we tell others about the journey in this post-modern age?

The areas of knowledge and understanding that we will do well to grow in are:

  • What is His Story? - a hitchhiker’s guide to Christian doctrine
  • The Church - ark or resource-base? (including rites of sustenance and of passage)
  • The story so far: church history, and ecumenism today
  • The task ahead: sharing our faith in the third Millennium.
  • Global positioning system (GPS) - reviewing ‘where I am’ and where I’m called to be ‘going’ [spiritual direction / guidance / mutual accountability]
  • Journeymen and women of other faiths
