Preached the third message in our series, “The Real Church” this morning. It was a revisiting of sorts of the third point – the quality of the REAL church: that the church has a “A Risk-Taking Faith”. We camped out on the story of Jesus feeding the five-thousand from Matthew’s Gospel and then we ended the service with a real-life opportunity for a personal, family-oriented, and church-wide faith-risk. I put before our church a Faith Promise opportunity for us to support missions.

We will be receiving the Faith Promise forms from our church families over the next two weeks and announce our total by the first week in November. I’m excited about what God is going to do through our church family to support the Gospel being spread around the world!
