“Taking it to the Streets (Church has left the building)” a new series of messages that will challenge us to put our faith into action… To recognize and do something about the fact that a lot of people who are far from God are not going to darken the door of a church any time soon… To learn to live out the truth that “showing” Jesus is usually more life-changing than “talking about” Jesus… To understand that “church” is something we are before it’s something we join or a place that we go to…
The messages for this series include:
- “Taking the Detour” - the story of the Good Samaritan for today.
- “The Jesus Glasses” – learning to see people through the eyes of Jesus.
- “Little Acts – Big Impact” – small things done with love can change the world.
The final installment of the series will involve Service Sunday instead of Sunday services… You’ll have to be here to believe it!
I encourage everyone to be here for each message, and bring along your skeptical friends who think that “all the church wants is your money” or “the church doesn’t really care about people.” The Holy Spirit just might use these messages to change their minds and draw them closer to God!

What a great concept! (seriously) It’s about time that we in the church realize that the Great Commission is not about getting people into a church building for a church service.
I would love to see our church have a series of messages like you are about to present followed by a day when we go out and share the Gospel message; The world knows that we are striving to be nice guys but do they know that they are sinners in need of forgiveness and do they know how ridiculously easy it is to receive that grace?
Kudos on you all for looking outside the walls of the church, I wouldn’t mind a copy of your sermons. Hope this series goes well for you, you sound like you have a church that is excited about putting their faith into action.

How soon are we going to be streaming? The worst part about being out on the road is missing Sunday morning at Jubilee!!! I miss you all and I’ll see you when I get back home. Can’t wait to hear the cd for tomorrow!
