Dr. Bowman challenged students to consider the questions, \u201cWhat is God doing in the nations?\u201d and \u201cWhat is God\u2019s mission?\u201d As believers, we have the joy of worshiping the one, true God who has revealed Himself in Scripture, allowing us to understand what God\u2019s attitude toward missions is. Focusing on Acts 13\u201314, Dr. Bowman asserted that part of God\u2019s plan for redemption is to send believers to preach His name to the nations. Dr. Bowman notes how Israel was a people chosen to know God so that they could preach the eternal hope of the Gospel to the nations. Likewise, we as the Church should do the same.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Dr. Matt Bennett<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Next up was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RWqm-iGGtMU\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Dr. Matt Bennett<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">, who served in North Africa and the Middle East. Dr. Bennett opened his sermon with a metaphor about fine dining, noting how many fine dining restaurants will not provide a menu but instead give the consumer what it is that the chef has determined to be the best for them. Similarly, we as believers get to joyfully receive what God has prepared for us, trusting that He has the wisdom to point us to where He desires for us to serve. Reading from Ephesians 3, Dr. Bennett explained how God\u2019s purposes are realized in Christ, His wisdom is revealed through the Church, and His Church has been released into His world. Dr. Bennett finished his teaching with three challenging questions for us to consider: <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">1)<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\"> \u201cWill you delight in Christ and what He has done?\u201d <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">2)<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\"> \u201cWill you trust Him with your unqualified \u2018yes\u2019?\u201d and <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">3)<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\"> \u201cWill you seek the counsel of your church?\u201d As you consider how you can live out Christ\u2019s mission, I encourage you to consider these questions.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Dr. Steve Dye<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Finishing this year\u2019s GO Conference was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/SwA0oPA3l2w?feature=shared\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Dr. Steve Dye<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">, who served in Berlin, Germany, for 23 years. In his sermon, Dye considered the question, \u201cWhere is the Church heading [in light of what we know about the Great Commission]?\u201d Opening in Revelation 19, Dye focused on the concept of the Church being Christ\u2019s bride and what the title of \u201cbride\u201d means for believers, asserting that the Church will be an eternal community of the redeemed from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation. Ultimately, he explained how the Church is to preach Christ\u2019s coming Kingdom to every nation, knowing that we have a coming hope in eternity.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sessions<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">When not attending GO Conference chapel sessions, students can attend a myriad of missions-focused <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">panels throughout the day.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> This year, students talked to missionaries directly to learn about high-risk areas, maintaining perseverance, how to serve as an introvert, how to blend with other cultures, and so much more!
