About this sermon

Discipleship in the 19th Century: Sent to the Nations The nineteenth century heralded a time of missionary work unlike any since the first century. God gave men and women the gospel and sent them to the nations. He sent William Carey to India and Hudson Taylor to China and enabled both to establish two of the earliest Protestant mission societies. In more recent years, the concept of the “missionary” has been expanded. Webster simply defines a missionary as “a person undertaking a mission and especially a religious mission.” Most likely, you have heard the slogan, “Every Christian is a missionary.” But is this an accurate description of the missionary? Is our definition sufficient? And, ultimately, does it really matter? Join us this morning as we look back and think about the importance of missions.
