From the very beginning, sin has divided men and women from one another as well as from God. It has led to God's judgement, which has scattered humanity to prevent further evil. In consequence, we live in a broken world.
But God is remaking that world. Through the whole history of redemption, we see God at work to gather a people together, and we see him at work day by day in the gathering of the local church. The church may not impress us, but it is a foretaste of the remade world God is preparing for us.
In these three talks, Christopher Ash uses this theme to give us an overview of the whole bible story, and shows us how the history of redemption can be understood as the scattering and remaking of humanity. He shows us, too, how understanding this theme, and in particular, what it shows us about the local church, can change our Christian lives and ministries.
