    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,545 views

    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.

    Is it winter in your life? Do you feel abandoned and without hope? Let the last words of the Apostle Paul encourage you as he prepared to cast off for the next shore.

    Quite a number of years ago now I saw what was one of the most impacting presentations of my entire life.

    When we disrespect our own children, we disempower them, we give evidence that ours is a sick community, and we write off God’s ability to redeem.

    The church was plagued with two bad boys, or maybe it was three. The two really bad boys offended nearly everybody in that church. They ran through the hails, rudely bumping those who were in the way. Elderly ladies cringed when they saw them coming. Small children screamed and hid behind their ...read more
