Followers of Jesus don't always know where they're going, but they always know who they're with!!

We all have our own preconceived notions of who this man, Jesus Christ is. Was he God? Was he a prophet? Is he the promised Messiah? As Phil kicks off our series "When Jesus Met..." we'll be looking at who this figure Jesus really was and how people's lives were metamorphosized by merely knowing him. In this week's podcast, Phil will be introducing us to Peter; a man met with acceptance and love even in the midst of his betrayal and denial. Jesus just might be better than we ever thought or imagined!

In the gospel of Matthew, Jesus expresses to his followers that the Earth is ripe for harvest -- essentially, that people are ready for God and His kingdom to break in. Jesus' response to this statement was to immediately send out his disciples into the world sealed by the very same power and authority he ministered with. In this week's podcast, Zeke re-introduces us to this very same progression. Will we respond as Christ did? Will we be a people who choose into this authority and proclaim and demonstrate the good news of Jesus Christ? May you ever be challenged and inspired by this week's word!

The greatest challenge and yet greatest gift Christianity affords is to follow after Jesus. The truth of it is that we don't always know where that will take us or what we'll lay down in the process to see it through. In this week's podcast, Georgia generously shares from her own life experiences letting us into her own personal struggles with this all or nothing call. Ultimately, sacrifice is the only way forward yet the truest doorway to joy.

Not just once but twice, Jesus called the disciples to throw their nets to the opposite side of their boats; even when it made no logical sense. But the results were enough to baffle the imagination and prove His lordship to them. This same mysterious Jesus walks on the shores of our lives each and every day inviting us into a life of trust and obedience. The results are always His abundance for us, for others, and the entire world around us. Listen in this week as Steve shares on John 21 and reminds us of our mandate as the Church to reach outside our four walls and wash the feet of our city. It is in this place of obedience that we will see the abundance of God manifested throughout our city.

God is calling His church outwards once again to get low, get imaginative, and serve the least of these.
