Special guest speaker Pastor Joe Allen, aka "Average Joe the Missionary" (http://www.entrust-ministries.org), challenges us this weekend to step beyond our fear and allow God to do amazing things right where we live.  Joe shares some of his amazing stories as a missionary in South Africa and how the Lord used him to impact the community he was in by unknowingly showing simple kindness to the local head drug dealer.  God wants to use your simple acts of faith as well to do amazing things, things you may not imagine.  11.02.2008

We get the special treat of hearing from our own Jennifer Summa bring us a message of risking rebellion.  Jennifer walks us into the story of Daniel and living as rebels in captivity that find God's covering.  She also shares with us a chapter out of her own life and how God has covered Jennifer and her family.  We see that remembering where we have been and where God has brought us out of, that it can strengthen us in risking rebellion in our modern day Babylon.   10.26.2008

This week we look at risking accountability.  Accountability, or answering for our actions, is something we often avoid and certainly don't do voluntarily.  But we see that this is a necessary path for growth in Christ.  We look at 4 levels of accountability; being accountable to each other, to the world around us, to our leaders, and to Jesus our Savior.  When we embrace those, we find interesting changes afoot in our life.  10.19.2008
