Stetzer to Teach a Course on Missional Communities

Ed Stetzer will be teaching a course on missional communities at Trinity Divinity. Here is the syllabus. Here is the course description: 

Transformational ministries in today’s rapidly changing culture require churches that are “missional” from a biblical, theological, and cultural perspective. This course will help you better understand the cultural context in which you serve and teach you how to apply biblically faithful and culturally relevant missiological strategies to your ministry. Special attention will be given to North American cultural shifts, the missional/sending nature of the church, effective communication in various cultural contexts, and emerging ministry patterns in North America.

Worship by Faith

We worship by faith. Worship is no more started up because we have pushed the faith button than our faith is started because we have pushed the worship button. Saving faith is not a different kind of faith than continuing faith. We do not step into or out of faith, nor do we step into or out of worship.
