What In the World Is God Doing ...
with Us?
Transformation to the Reign and Mission
of God
We, as God’s people, have been called out of this world to be set apart for God’s special purposes.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. ~ 1 Peter 2:9-10 (NIV)
In the previous study, "What in the World Is God Doing?", we explored what God is doing in our world and how we can be active participants in His work. In this series, we look more carefully at what God is doing in our world and how He uses us as His people to accomplish that work.
We know God is at work ... but what in the world is God doing – WITH US?
