John 17:15-21; Luke 4:16-21; Luke 19:10; Mark 10:45 - The Church is far more than simply something to attend, or a collection of programs. The Church is the body of Christ, sent into the world with a message that can change everything. In fact, this "sent-ness" is so fundamental to the church that you could say the church doesn't just send missionaries, the church is a missionary.
