Testimony of Faith: Our World Belongs to God #30
The Spirit gathers people from every tongue, tribe, and nation into the unity of the body of Christ.
Anointed and sent by the Spirit, the church is thrust into the world, ambassadors of God’s peace, announcing forgiveness and reconciliation, proclaiming the good news of grace.
Going before them and with them, the Spirit convinces the world of sin and pleads the cause of Christ.
Men and women, impelled by the Spirit, go next door and far away into science and art, media and marketplace—
every area of life, pointing to the reign of God with what they do and say.
Closing Song: Here I Am, Lord
God’s Blessing to His People
