What does following Jesus now look like? Is it different? Is it essentially the same as always? Or both?
Day by Day invites us to look at these things personally and together, focusing on the Call to Mission, ensuring that Jesus and his teaching are always at the heart of our endeavours.
Be Ready
A call to prayer
A call to holiness
A call to be battle-ready now!
Be Engaged
A call to serve
A call to worship
A call to confidence in the gospel
Take Responsibility
A call to raise and nurture every generation
A call to costly compassion
A call to inclusion
Day by Day highlights personal choices in deciding to follow Jesus, but also illustrates the benefit of sharing the adventure and mission with others. The book can be read with both approaches in mind. The 'Reflect' points, taken from the script, invite both personal and group consideration, as do the action points of 'To Be' and 'To Do'. The book could be particularly useful when used by mission groups or corps wanting to work together to identify how to better engage in mission in changing times.
