Something Bigger

Here is a Tim Keller quote I used this morning.

Role of the Church

From Kevin Vanhoozer's book, The Drama of Doctrine (page 355)

The church has a prophetic ministry of forth-telling, forth-showing, and forth-doing the gospel, thus projecting the world of the biblical text into the public square and onto the stage of world history.

If successful, the church would certainly leave its community better than it found it!  That would truly be loving your neighbor as yourself!

"I am not alone"

Song from Sunday at Explore Church...

Happy New Year!!!
