What does the word "mission" bring to mind? Perhaps you think of missionaries, mission organisations, and people who are doing wonderful things for God in other far-off parts of the world? Perhaps you think of a mission that your church conducts in a local neighbourhood? Could mission be something that involves you not just as something you support, but also as something you are an active participant in, something that involves the whole of everyday life?

In this course, Chris Wright, preacher, scholar, and Christian leader, invites us to journey with him through eight study sessions to understand what the Bible as a whole says about God's mission and what that means for us as God's people in the world today. Each session provides a video resource, relevant reading from the Scriptures, and an opportunity for reflection and discussion.

Ideally worked on as a group but also suitable for self-study, this course helps us to understand mission by understanding the Bible, who we are as God's church, and what we are here for as God's people, until Christ returns.
