The church today seems to have lost the sense of mission that Jesus gave His disciples in the Great Commission. We focus more on trying to bring people into the sanctuary than training those who are already in and sending them out. Right from the very beginning, God called the Jewish people to Himself in order that through them the nations of the world, both Jew and Gentile, would be brought into the community of faith. We need to recapture this vision for missions in our churches today.
