A Vision for Apostolic Movements Glocally (no, I didn't misspell that)
Bob Roberts

5 Things that are different about Christianity than any other religion

1. Covenant
  • The grid for God's operation is not the church, it's society.
  • God said Abraham would be the father of many nations, which means he is about all peoples.
  • We're called to transform the world, not to put on a show.
  • It's a whole lot easier to do a Sunday event than to start a church that changes the world.

2. The Cross

  • Reconciles all things.
  • Christ is for all nations.

3. The Commission

  • Focus on Jesus--the disciple and the church emerge.
  • Christianity is the first church to ever shift ethnicity (but didn't abandon Jews).

4. Community

  • Christianity started as a Jewish movement, it will end as a Muslim movement.

5. Connectedness

  • We've never been able to engage the world like we can today.
