God's Mission

Course Description:

This course is about God's relationship with humanity thematically revealed in Scripture, particularly with regard to the lawsuit motif found in the Gospel of John. In it, students explore the meaning and intensity of God’s mission as they seek to understand God’s lawsuit in light of the truth of the gospel. The purpose of this course is to help students see for themselves what God has set out to do, and to marvel at His brilliance, and to take such deep security in His plan that they find the moral courage to live on mission, even in the face of opposition.
