Summary
Pastor Kris unpacks the mandate on the Church to bring the light and hope of Jesus to our cities and nations. In previous ideologies from Christian history, this idea that the Rapture was coming soon caused the Church to pull away from the world as many people believed there was no point in trying to influence a dying world. While the Church may have operated out of fear in the past, it brings us greater insight on how to shine our light in the world today.

| 1:02.6 | about the beginnings of Reformation and the core values, if you will, the way that Bethel sees |
| 1:10.1 | the world and the way that it came to this |
