The power of the gospel is creating an eternal, cosmic, multiethnic community here and now. God’s design for his kingdom is wonderfully diverse and every church can contribute to this beautiful picture of how Christ’s kingdom has broken into this age. This talk from the 2023 Harbor Network Leaders' Summit is intended to encourage and equip God's people to display the multi-faceted wisdom of God in our churches.
