Go! Series

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Aug 26, 2007

God calls us to go. Into our communities. Into the broken parts of our cities. He promises to go with us and to make us a blessing. To reach the cities for Christ through his highly imperfect church. Improbable? Impossible. Then it must be God!

Sermon for CATM - August 26, 2007 - “Go!” Genesis 12:1-3; Matthew 28:16-20 If you were here last Sunday you heard Maryellen’s message. It was, as usual for her, pretty extraordinary.

Travel Light Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on Feb 19, 2012
