Can you think of a group in your community who stand at the ready to respond to the needs of others who find themselves in a crisis situation at any given moment?  Is the local church one of the first groups that came to your mind?  If not, why?  Sadly, far too many Christians assume the church exists primarily to serve them.  In this series we’re going to discover the true purposes for the church and hear the clear call of Jesus to be ready to join him in his great rescue mission.
