Topic: Adventure, Discipleship, Faith, Pentecost, Sacrifice
Book: Deuteronomy, Luke, Philemon, Psalms
Counterintuitive as it may sound, it is precisely the call to sacrifice which we must embrace and offer to the world today if we wish to see the church grow. People of my generation and younger especially have caught on to the façade of contemporary worship, for it is so clearly divorced from the reality of life, which is hard! Life is hardly ever holding hands and singing kumbaya, it is a daily struggle against sin, and pain, and grief, and shame. Christ delivers us from all those things, but only if we join Him in the fight.

Speaker: The Rev. Mark Galloway
Topic: Church, Discipleship, Easter, Love, Truth
Book: Acts, John, Psalms, Revelation
Jesus told his disciples, “Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another” (John 13:34). The Rev. Galloway challenges us to examine how far we fall short of this commandment and reminds us that love does not mean saying things people want to hear – it means telling the truth.
