In this powerful session, Chris Riser (Senior Pastor, Grace Community Church) draws from 1 Thessalonians 1 to reveal a crucial truth: the local church is not just a sender—it is a missionary itself. Through bold gospel proclamation, radical rejection of idols, and a hopeful anticipation of Christ’s return, this session challenges churches to embody a vibrant, uncompromised witness. Whether you’re a leader, elder, or member passionate about missions, this session will inspire a renewed vision for the church’s sacred role in God’s mission.
