Local faith in an era of national news.
Most of the news we consume is national—or even international. Most of our conversations about government and politics take place online, with people who live hundreds of miles away.
But scripture shows us that God works salvation and restoration in ways that are often intensely local and intensely specific.
This theme of the infinite, divine God manifesting his character in specific communities at specific times was central to Jesus’ life, ministry and redemptive work. By seeing how this theme shaped Jesus’ mission, we can better understand how to live as his ambassadors now.
