Overview

In The Mission of God’s People Video Lectures, a companion to the textbook The Mission of God’s People, author and international ministries expert Christopher Wright explores how God’s overarching mission in the world directs the purpose of God’s people, the church.

Each session emphasizes what the Old Testament teaches Christians about being the people of God, addressing both ecclesiology and missiology with topics like “called to care for creation,” “called to bless the nations,” “sending and being sent,” and “rejecting false gods.”

These 15 video lectures provide pastors, teachers, students, and lay learners with first-rate biblical and theological study while at the same time addressing practical concerns of contemporary ministry. The Mission of God’s People Video Lectures will help enliven and refocus the study, teaching, and ministry of those truly committed to joining God’s work in the world.
