For The Life of The World | Episode 7 | Church

From the old meeting house to the modern church building, Christians gather together as one and then stream into the world again as salt and light. Rediscover the church as the body of Christ in the world, bringing healing and restoration to all creation. Does God have a plan for family? Messy, mundane, and hopefully joyous, family is a fundamental pathway into the world. Explore the role of family and its dynamic impact on our lives, our communities, and the whole earth. "For the Life of the World is the best treatment of faith & culture ever put on screen. Just outstanding."" — Andy Crouch, Executive Editor, Christianity Today. For the Life of the World is an entertaining film series that explores the deeper meaning of Salvation. Have you ever wondered, “What is my Salvation actually FOR?” Is it only about personal atonement, about getting to heaven, or something that comes later? Is it just to have a “friend in Jesus?” Join Evan Koons and his friends – Stephen Grabill, Amy Sherman, Anthony Bradley, Makoto Fujimura, John M. Perkins, Tim Royer and Dwight Gibson – as they discover a “new perspective,” the BIGGER picture of what it means to be “in the world, not of it.” This seven-part film series will help you, your friends, church or organization investigate God’s Economy of All Things – OIKONOMIA (a Greek word that has a lot to say about God’s plan for his creation, the world, and us.) Explore how God’s purposes are woven into every area of our lives: family, work, art, charity, education, government, recreation and all creation! The Bible calls us Strangers and Pilgrims, living in ""the now and not yet"" of God’s Kingdom Come on earth. We are also called to be salt and light, to have a transforming presence among our neighbors. Rediscover the role of the church and how our lives lived on earth matter in God’s plan for the world. Stars: Evan Koons, Stephen Grabill, Dwight Gibson
