Unit 3, LESSON 7
MISSIONAL LIVING – Leading by Example
DRIVEN BY GOD’S HEART
God’s heart is that all would believe and none would perish, so we are passionate about modeling and imparting a biblical urgency to call all people to repentance. Jesus, Paul, and the twelve apostles are our primary examples of missional living. With a heart of dependence, we endeavor as Crossway leaders to faithfully follow their example and impart their passion and God’s heart to all of those in our care.
Leading by example in missional living may involve hardship and suffering, but we are convinced that the urgency of the mission is worth any sacrifice God may call us to endure. We also believe that he will empower us for the same.
