Bringing Life To Our City (Part 2) There is a dominate thread throughout the course of Scripture... and that is, God is on a mission. We must focus on the narrative of Scripture, seeing the big picture of who we are becoming and how we fit into the mission of God. It is about our entire life, not just what we call out "spiritual life." (Romans 12:1-2)
