Onward: Engaging the Culture without Losing the Gospel (Study Guide)

Onward Bible Study Book includes small-group experiences for six sessions, personal study opportunities each week, applicable Scripture, tips for leading a small group, and â€œHow to Use This Study.â€ As the culture changes all around us, it is no longer possible for Christians to pretend that we are a moral majority. That may be bad news for America, but it can be good news for the church. Nominal Christianity isnâ€™t working anymore. What's needed now, in shifting times, is neither a doubling-down on the status quo nor a retreat into isolation. Instead, we need a church that speaks to social and political issues with a bigger vision in mind: that of the gospel of Jesus Christ. As Christianity seems increasingly strangeâ€”and even subversiveâ€”to our culture, we have the opportunity to embrace the distinctiveness of the Christian faith and to be marginalized for the sake of the gospel.
