On unreached people groups: "Rather than assuming you are staying until you hear a word from God, it seems more biblical to assume you are going unless you believe God called you to stay." -Francis Chan, Letters to the Church
"Have people ever been in disbelief over the amount of peace you display? Are you known for being ridiculously joyful?" -Francis Chan, Letters to the Church
"The early church was known for how they cared for one another. They focused on eternity and cared little about earthly possessions." -Francis Chan, Letters to the Church
On Saturday, Pastor Sam answered the question, "What does it mean to have a pure heart?" Having a pure heart means we have a heart that is devoted and cleansed. It means we have a heart that can see God.
Matthew 5:8
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."
“When we love others, we are being the hands and feet of Jesus. Jesus loved the marginalized, rejected, and forgotten.” -Francis Chan, Letters to the Church
