Hebrews 11.10 - Seeking THIS City, Certain of THE City
Hebrews 11.10 - Seeking THIS City, Certain of THE City
As we end our study of Abraham and launch a new ‘church year’ at ZGC, may we hear this fitting challenge:
“I would argue that there is nothing more critical for the evangelical church today than to emphasize the support of urban ministry. The need is great, as is the cost – ministry in city centers is considerably more expensive…If Christians want to reach the unreached, we must go to the cities. To reach the rising generations, we must go to the cities. To have any impact for Christ on the creation of culture, we must go to the cities. To serve the poor we must go to the cities. Many people who are not naturally comfortable in the city will have to follow the example of Abraham. Abraham was called to leave his familiar culture and become a pilgrim, seeking the city of God.”
Tim Keller, “Center Church,” p. 162.
