\"\"There is a burning desire in the heart of God to bring the nations to himself. It isn’t because he in any way needs something outside of himself to be complete. It is because God himself is love\u2014persons in perfect communion. From the very nature of his being he has created all things and invites humanity into the joy he offers and is.<\/p>\n

That invitation is proclaimed by those called “the church.” They are the “called out” ones who are also sent<\/strong><\/em> out into all the world. They are compelled by the very love of God himself shed abroad in their hearts\u2014the personal embodiment of the presence and reconciling work of Christ. They are the gospel enfleshed\u2014men and women, boys and girls, with hearts turned out in love for the nations, who will go to whatever lengths necessary to fulfill their mission and calling.<\/p>\n

“Destinations” is a mission-focused sermon series that explores the grandness and scope of God’s call to his church to proclaim the gospel in both word in deed, both near and far.<\/p>\n
