Journey Class ~ 2 ~ The Mission of God and Gospel


We laid a foundation for the remaining classes with our topic for class 2. We spent time reflecting on this question, "What is God doing in our world?" We really covered a lot of Biblical material in this class - beginning with God's good creative work in Genesis 1 & 2 and wrapping up with a sneek peak of a restored creation in Revelation 21 & 22.

I left our group with a question to answer during the week. "What is the Gospel?"

The sheer volume of the material in Class 2 left our heads swimming, but in those feelings of being overwhelmed we interestingly found new space to reimagine the Mission of God in our world. It can be a challenge to pry open spaces in our thinking in order to create incubators for new life to be born - and that was the challenge of Class 2.
