“Discipleship, Mission, and the Body of Christ”

John 20:19-31

Our sense of mission and call to discipleship takes place within the fellowship of faith—within Christian community. Not only is individual piety a false idea, but so is individual mission. The individual is not called to mission; the church is called to mission. It is not just an individual that responds to a call, but an individual who is in Christ and who discerns that call together within the Body of Christ (Acts 13:1-3).
