Soma Community Church

Bible Text: Psalms 23 | Preacher: Pastor Jon Nelson | Series: SomaDNA

Soma DNA explores what a maturing disciple looks like at Soma, focusing on the mission of the church which is to build communities of transformed disciples the live for the glory of God by connecting people to Christ and community.

Theologians refer to the mission of God as the “Missio Dei”. It is God’s particular passion behind all that He does.  The mission of God is the demonstration of His own intrinsic glory. God creates, calls, rescues, redeems, saves, restores, restrains, grants and withholds all to the end that He might be praised. His desire, which He will surely fulfill, is that the knowledge of His glory would cover the earth as the waters do the sea (Habakkuk 2:14). God’s mission is the manifestation of His magnificence. His mission is glory.

God’s mission is that He might be glorified through the redemption of a people. God’s mission is that He might redeem a people so that He might be glorified. Whichever way it is stated, God’s glory is ultimate, and the redemptive work of Christ is the particular means by which that goal is achieved.
