Jesus of Nazareth came with a specific message—"the gospel of the kingdom of God." It was the central theme of all that He preached and taught. In a world of religious confusion, the United Church of God proclaims that same message.
The mission of the United Church of God is to proclaim to the world the little-understood gospel taught by Jesus Christ — the good news of the coming Kingdom of God--and to prepare a people for that Kingdom.
This message not only offers great hope for all of humanity, but encompasses the purpose of human existence — why we are here and where our world is headed.
In this booklet we outline the mission and key activities of the United Church of God, an International Association, and the beliefs that drive them.
Staggering changes are taking place in Western society. Standards and cultural structures that have stood for thousands of years are being dismantled. The very foundations of society—what it means to be a man, a woman, a husband, a wife, a father and a mother—are being cast away without regard for what will replace them. God’s very design for human societies—with a man and a woman united in marriage to have children—is being deliberately destroyed. Who and what is behind this? Why is it happening? What is God’s purpose for sex, marriage and family? You need to understand what’s taking place and why! Discover the answers in this issue of Beyond Today.
