Key Hermeneutical Concepts to Consider towards a Missional Hermeneutic:
•Scripture as a communicative and missional speech act
•The in-breaking kingdom of God in ancient and modern perspective; how is this text testifying to the in-breaking, the irruption, of the kingdom? How can I see the in-breaking kingdom reality, now fulfilled in Jesus Christ, take root in the contemporary world?
•Christotelic reading of OT text; Christ functioning as the goal of this text.
by Prof. Michael Kelly
The Rev. Michael Couch has been preaching the “Good News” of Jesus Christ for more than 15 years. His commitment to building the family and building the Church through evangelism is guided by one burning thought: “Fight the Good Fight of Faith.”
To this end, he has fought against the privatization of public schools, and against river boat and casino gambling. He has fought for stronger gun control legislation, fought for reform in criminal sentencing, and he has fought for a citywide AIDS awareness project.
Yet one of his greatest fights for the family has been his work in housing. Realizing the wealth-building importance of owning a home and the many obstacles that stand in the way, Rev. Couch became the founding president of Christian Credit Development, a credit repair and mortgage brokerage service that, to date, has secured homes for more than 700 families.
