Scripture in Mission

We have just finished a conference with all our workers from around the world. We had the Bible readings followed by small group discussions on the topics of the day. These were:

Our God Reigns Psalm 99

The Mission of God Genesis 12:1-9

The Bible in Mission Luke 24:13-53

The Kingdom of God Mark 1:15, Acts 1:1-11

The Church Ephesians 2:19-22

The Church (Relationships) Romans 12:1-21

Our members until now have not been used to discussing their work in the light of theology or missiology. When they posted their deliberations on the wall it was full of stunning theological insight on everything from integral ministry to the Trinity. Can we plead for an end to dumbing down the biblical material in our churches. Give people what the Bible teaches and they will be inspired, informed and interested.
