city

Luke 24:49
I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."

Pastor Tim Keller says ‘As the city goes, so goes the culture. We need churches wherever there are people, but we can have our greatest influence for good in our society if we have a strong presence in the urban centers.‘

The early church went to the cities first. Christians established centers for hope, healing, and good news in the urban arenas of the Middle East, Asia, Minor, and Europe. Only later did the faith spread to the countryside. What are the implications for this today?

Pray for the blessing of the largest city near you.
