Our goal as Christians is never simply to build our own tribe. Instead,
we seek the peace and prosperity of the city or community in which we
live through a gospel movement led by the Holy Spirit, a movement united
by the gospel of Jesus Christ, a common mission to reach and serve
others, and a commitment to be gracious and generous to those who
disagree with you.
In Serving a Movement, best-selling author and pastor Timothy Keller
looks at the nature of the church's mission and its relationship to the
work of individual Christians in the world. He examines what it means to
be a "missional" church today and how churches can practically equip
people for missional living. Churches need to intentionally cultivate an
integrative ministry that connects people to God, to one another, to the
needs of the city, and to the culture around us. Finally, he highlights
the need for intentional movements of churches planting new churches
that faithfully proclaim God's truth and serve their communities.
This new edition contains the third section of Center Church in an
easy-to-read format with new reflections and additional essays from
Timothy Keller and several other contributors.
