Mission: Our Shared Ministry
Mission: Our Shared Ministry
As Soma turns 20, we’re looking back at the ways God has faithfully written our story and leaning forward to all he still wants to do in and through us. God has richly, abundantly, and freely given to us, over and against what we have earned or deserved, and has chosen in his kindness to cause this work to be fruitful -- and we are grateful! Over the month of September, we’re looking at a key text — Ephesians 4.1-16 — and asking God to do it again, doing what only he can do as we get low, dependent, and go ALL IN for Jesus and his mission. This week we explore our Shared Ministry, considering the role of the whole body in growing the church in quality and quantity.
