Worthless Servants

In this episode,, our series concludes with a specific look at the Church of the Nazarene. Why was the founding of our denomination so explicitly urban? Have we gotten away from our urban roots in many countries? What are some examples of effective Nazarene ministry in the hearts of global cities?

In this episode, we offer a wide array of strategies for impacting the city. What seems to NOT be working in urban areas?

In this episode we acknowledge that city work is inherently hard…but also rewarding. By the end, it’s clear we believe that we must truly love in order to see change in the urban jungle.

In this episode, we try to tap into the heart of God. Is there a special place in God’s heart for cities? Does the Bible have anything to say about his passion for cities?

In this episode, we talk about the growing urbanization of the world, and what difference that should make for us as Christians. The future is truly urban. But maybe the present already is as well.
