For the One
In July 2010, a small group of Seventh-day Adventist pastors and chaplains met in a hotel room in Denver, Colorado, to share their burdens, pray with each other, and seek renewal for their lives and their ministries.
After two days, a single phrase "Jesus. All" summarized their shared passion, a re-grounding in the core of their faith. They decided to invite some of their friends and colleagues to meet with them in Atlanta a few months later to begin to explore what "Jesus. All." means for each of our lives, our church, our communities, and our world. Now known as the One Project, these gatherings have been repeated and replicated around the world as more and more people have responded to the impulse and call to re-focus and renew faith in Jesus.
Drawing on close study of the gospels, re-discovering key moments of Adventist history and exploring implications of Jesus-centeredness for the church today, the presentations collected in this book have served as discussion-starters at these gatherings, prompting ongoing conversations around tables, in hallways, offices, churches, and homes, as well as online.
For The One is your invitation to join these conversations, take them further and live them out in your community. And it is your invitation—again or perhaps for the first time—to make Jesus. All.
