    A sermon encouraging our church to step out in faith and get off the edge. A message for a church that is sitting on the fence or a church that is ready to move into the direction God has called them.

    A church on the edge God’s relationship with us seems to be one of “edginess” of a risk taking journey- at least according to Scripture. it’s risky “to truly love” isn’t it? It’s risky to confess. It’s risky to forgive, it’s risky to truly care, it’s risky to surrender, confront, risky ...read more

    We are not called by Christ to talk about fishing for people or wait until we have the proper equipment or bait. We are called to fish.

    We all want to leave the world a little better place for having lived here. But if that is true, then we must have a plan. Do we? Jesus suggests a plan "Follow me."

    Have you ever wondered why you come to church every Sunday, at least most Sundays? And why is it that for each one of you faithful attendees, there are 10 or more non-attendees?
