What if?

This Sunday we will start a new series called What If? This series will call us to reevaluate what the Kingdom is and how the church fits into it. Jesus' main message was that the Kingdom of God had come... he proclaimed that and demonstrated that.

Somehow over time in the West some churches have lost sight of the Kingdom and have focused on meetings, conversions, and resourcing a few people to do Kingdom stuff. (Certainly not bad in and of themselves, but certainly has not produced the transformation we all long to see!)

This Sunday we will ask the question, What If the Church was the Missionary?

I am so grateful for the growth we have seen at NCC. I continue to here amazing testimonies of how God's grace has totally affected people's lives. I love that! However, now is the time for us to unite as God's people and pray let Your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven!

This is a good time to bring along a friend or family member who may wonder what this whole church thing is about. Hope to see you all there!
