Our mission as Christians is to "make disciples who live and love like Jesus." This means that we are called by God to expand his kingdom. The purpose of this study and of the the entire series is to support and equip you for this life of meaning and ministry. To this end, we look to encourage and challenge you as a follower of Jesus and a disciple in his church. Over the course of this study and series, we will be discussing some vital questions that will shape our lives and ministry: What is the gospel? What are its implications for my life? What is my identity? What is my role in my family? What is my ministry? And other questions like these. The Living with Impact studies are designed to be discussion-oriented and interactive. That means your leaders want to hear from you. If you have questions, thought or insights, please don't hesitate to speak up in your group. We learn and grow best when we're able to learn and grow together. This series was created to help local churches establish themselves in the gospel and its implications in the 21st Century American contest. May we become the disciples that Jesus commissioned his followers to make - as a testimony to all nations.
