The early church did not approach church the way most Western churches do today. If they had, the church would not still be around today. Many churches today are producing church attenders, but Jesus called us to produce—and reproduce—disciple makers. In this series, we will discover what the Bible describes as the "core" mission of the church.
The Bible declares that "the righteous will live by faith." The life of following Jesus is based on faith, or trust. We trust God for what we cannot see and for what we don't understand. Ultimately, we trust God for our eternity. If we can trust him for our eternity, how do we trust him with lesser things? Things like our possessions and finances? As we will see from Jesus, this is more important than most think.
