Sermons on growing in faith (Page 25)
Worship, Mission, and the Möbius Strip
Matt’s message is rooted in Acts 17.22-31 and the image of a Möbius strip.

Matt draws upon the work of Dr. Myers to outline ways of thinking about how worship and mission relate. How does worship relate to mission for you?
