About this audiobook
Discover how the mission of the church relates to the work done by Christians individually to serve and better us all collectively.
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 as he:
- examines what it means to be a “missional” church today,
- studies how churches can practically equip people for missional living,
- and 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-digest format with new reflections and additional essays from Timothy Keller and several other contributors.
Accompanying visuals and discussion questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
