Skepticism and the Search for Truth
Each of us has a particular paradigm or way of looking at the world, but what do you do when an event occurs outside your paradigm?

Those who first discovered the empty tomb responded with skepticism, surprise and a search for Truth.What is your response?

Revolutionaries Contribute
To be revolutionary, we need to regularly contribute to God’s mission of helping people find their way back to Him. As we look even more closely at David’s life of contribution we will see how it compares to the lives of other revolutionaries like Jim and Elisabeth Elliot. Their selfless contribution to God’s mission changed the lives of those around them for eternity.

Revolutionaries Connect
To travel the road of the revolutionary, we all need to have regular experiences of connceting with other Christ followers. We parallel the lives of John Wesley and King David as people who experienced revolutionary connecting in their lives that changed their lives and the lives of countless others.

Little is Much
This week we start our summer series of messages based on the stories Jesus told about the kingdom of heaven. About a dozen of his stories began with the words "the kingdom of heaven is like." In trying to understand what our world would look like if the values of God's kingdom really took root - these stories are a good starting point. Today, we pick up the concept that the kingdom will not come in a radical, military or political takeover, but rather, through the small but powerful and pervasive infl uence of kingdom agents spread liberally throughout the existing structures of society. The revolutionary influence of the kingdom has been called by some "the quiet revolution" but it's power is incredible! "True evangelical faith cannot lie dormant. It clothes the naked, it feeds the hungry, it comforts the sorrowful, it shelters the destitute, it serves those that harm it, it binds up that which is wounded, it has become all things to all people." (quote from Menno Simons, 1496-1561)
