Whole Bible, Whole Mission, Whole Life with Rev Dr Chris Wright (Small Group Resource)

We usually read the Bible in little pieces. We argue over what bits of mission we think have priority. We split our lives into compartments for work, family, God, etc.  What would happen if we had a more integrated understanding of all three and a more exciting sense of participating in the purposes of God? 

Topics
