Being God's Sent Church | Verge 2013 Discipleship and Mission Thoughts Part 3 of 3

The Verge 2013 Conference held at Austin City Limits in Austin, Texas was a pivotal moment in God revealing the vision He had for Emmaus City Church. Here is our first post based on reflections about discipleship and mission during that time:

• Empowered by the Spirit | Discipleship and Mission Thoughts Part 2 of 3
   

Now for some final quotes on the need for Jesus' church to realize He is sending us like He was sent by the Father and led by the Spirit. No quick reflections or verses for these final thoughts. Just the quotes. Then dig into the Scriptures, pray, and see how God might be speaking to you. For more new updates, like and follow Emmaus City on Facebook.
