Call
Mike Breen writes in his book Building a Discipling Culture: “Testing comes into our lives to make us more flexible, to stretch us out of our comfort zone. God stretches us by taking us into territory where we do not naturally feel comfortable. Moving in a direction that is not to our natural liking brings about maturity. We do not grow by staying in our comfort zone” (175). “There is a great need to restore and encourage leadership in our culture, including the Church. And the Church is the best place to offer a genuine model of leadership” (140).
I encourage you to listen with this in mind as you hear Taucha, Ken & Dawne tell their story.
Episode #4 - Earthquake (Easter)
Today’s episode is the Easter Sunday sermon I shared at Waters Mennonite Church in Lively, Ontario. With churches meeting remotely due to the pandemic, it was a great opportunity to join with a congregation at a distance. The scripture reading for this sermon comes from Matthew 28:1-10 and Colossians 3:1-4.
Family
