Sent Living the Missional Nature of the Church

Overview

Throughout history, God has always been a sender. After all, He sent us His Son, who in turn sends us. With Sent: Living the Missional Nature of the Church, Ed Stetzer issues a call to a new kind of missional living, one that engages culture, enables Christians to live in the world while not being of the world, and motivates the purposeful sharing of the story of Christ.

Uncover the meaning of missional and explore where you fit into the overall purpose of the church.
