Synopsis: Despite being Christ’s church, we are invisible to our community (and perhaps each other). We’ve often thought of our purpose (work) in terms of “evangelism, edification, and benevolence.” While these are not incorrect, this lesson encourages us to think of the church’s purpose from a different angle, by examining five parables of Jesus that teach us that the church is to be a home, influence society, valuable and a net. (Some concepts in this lesson were adapted from Seth Godin.)

“Let all that you do be done with love.”
