Part 2: Their Distinctives
Series: The Evangelicals
Stuart Briscoe
1 Corinthians 15:1-4

Part 3: Their Mission
Series: The Evangelicals
Stuart Briscoe

I. The Necessity of the Church's Mission.
Note: "Mission (L. 'missio': a sending) being sent out with authority to
perform a special duty."
A. The character of God.
1. He sent His spokesmen-the prophets.

3. He sent His Spirit-the Comforter. John 14:26
4. He sent His servants-the disciples. John 17:18
