Mission in our community - 7 June 2026

What does it look like to do local mission? In 1 Thessalonians we see a church with an incredible story - a complete turnaround from serving idols to worshipping the true and living God. The gospel went deep into this church, transforming them from the inside out. As this church lived out authentic gospel shaped community, the good news rang out from them to others all around their region, and many more people came to know the true and living God as well. This church can help be an example to show us what it looks like to live out authentic gospel shaped community, that overflows so that the gospel flows out into our local community, even into those parts of our local community that not all of us can go out to ourselves (like our university campuses!).Lauren Hansen
