Cross-cultural Mission in the 2025
"It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation." Romans 15:20

Living with the ambition of making Christ known worldwide, Mission today looks a little different from how it used to. The world has changed — people move more, cultures overlap, and the good news of Jesus can travel further and faster than ever before. Yet at the same time, there are still billions who’ve never had a real chance to hear it. In this session, we’ll explore what cross-cultural mission looks like now — where the greatest needs are, what’s changing, and how we can all be involved. Whether that’s praying, giving, going, or simply helping others catch the vision, we can each play a part as advocates for God’s global mission, both at home and across the world.

Questions to think about:
• What do we mean by mission? What about cross-cultural
mission?
• How has the world changed missionally? Where is it now?
• What does it look like to have a “glocal” mindset?
• What practical things can I do to serve God’s mission across the
world?

‘For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.’ Hebrews 11:10

Hebrews paints a picture of faith as a long pilgrimage, where believers journey toward a heavenly city. Drawing on Abraham’s example, we’ll explore what it means to live as strangers here while longing for the home God has prepared. This session lifts our eyes to our future hope — the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

Group Discussion Questions
• How does Abraham’s faith model life as a pilgrim and stranger?
• What “better things” lie ahead for God’s people?
• How might a heavenly perspective change our response to trials?
• What does it mean to live “looking for the city that is to come”?
• How could this eternal hope motivate our witness and service today?
