<p><em>Missio Christi </em>is Latin for the <em>mission </em>or <em>sending of Christ</em>. Why Latin? Why&nbsp;not? In John 20:21 Jesus said, &ldquo;As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.&rdquo;&nbsp;What we are trying to discover in this sermon series, and the forthcoming&nbsp;book, is what it means to be sent in the same way that Christ was sent?</p>
<p>We believe that Christ is still on mission in the world. The question is how&nbsp;can we join in this mission? What needs to change in order for us to begin&nbsp;to live for the grand purpose of God? What if we stopped trying to apply&nbsp;the Bibles to our lives and started applying our lives to the Bibles? What if&nbsp;the Church were to recapture her sense of sent-ness in the world? What if&nbsp;every Christian stopped seeing mission as something &ldquo;those people do&nbsp;over there&rdquo; and was liberated to be on mission in his or her immediate&nbsp;context by seeing it as &ldquo;what we do right here&rdquo;? These are our goals for&nbsp;this series and book.</p>
<p>What we are going to do is study the missional life of Christ in the Gospels.&nbsp;How Christ loved people, challenged people, touched people, cared for&nbsp;people, confronted people, and hung out with people. Then we will ask&nbsp;how we can do the same and thus experience <em>Missio Christi </em>in and&nbsp;through us, to the world around us.</p>
<p>On this website you will find, among other things, opportunities for you to&nbsp;shape and inform the sermons and book by sharing your <a href="http://themissionofchrist.com/help-with-message/">insights</a><span> </span>and&nbsp;<a href="http://themissionofchrist.com/your-story/">stories</a>. Please help&hellip; I need it!</p>
<p>Looking forward to discovering more of Christ with you this season!</p>
<p>Love and Blessings,</p>
<p>-Britt</p>
