The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) is not an encouragement, suggestion or advice. It is a command. These are some of the final words Jesus gave us before he left earth. Jesus’ message is very simple and very clear, “I’m leaving. Now, here is what I want you to do.” And God calls us to a sense of urgency for this mission. On Sunday, Doug Lowenberg shared about his vision to transform Ethiopia (The African Horn) by making disciples of Jesus.

Grace & Gratitude
November 29, 2015 • Dale Oquist
The more a person understands the grace of God the more giving and thankful they naturally become. There are numerous Biblical passages about this connection between grace and gratitude. This past weekend, Dale shared one of those passages. It is an obscure Old Testament story that shows how amazing God’s grace is – and the corresponding gratitude from an unlikely character.
Be Strong and Courageous
November 15, 2015 • Dale Oquist
On Sunday Dale paused his teaching on The Church to share some thoughts that have really encouraged him lately. He took us on a journey with Joshua of the Old Testament. We heard the words that Joshua heard numerous times; “Be strong and courageous.” Hear these encouraging words in a new and fresh way. Let them lead you to believe God for something that is completely beyond yourself and will require strength and courage from God. Let’s believe together.
