Summary

God loves us, but He loves our neighbor too! So, He calls us beyond ourselves to love them as He does! "For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again" (2 Corinthians 5:14-15). Beyond: Embracing the Outward-Focused Heart of Christ is a 21-day devotional journey to go beyond ourselves to join Jesus in the harvest field, to see campuses, cities, and communities around the world transformed by the reality of the Gospel. Written by both seasoned and emerging voices within the Body of Christ, these devotionals come from those who are practicing the lifestyle of the "outward-focused heart of Christ" in their cities and communities. Jesus is standing in the harvest field of this generation and inviting us to come with Him. There is an intimacy with Jesus we can only know as we labor with Him in the harvest. Our prayer is that as you embark on this 21-day journey, you will be pulled deeper into the missionary heart of Jesus.
