RADICAL DISCIPLESHIP
David Platt, author of Radical
We have twisted the Jesus of the Bible into a “nice, middle-class Jesus . . . a Jesus who doesn’t mind materialism and who would never call us to give away everything we have . . . A Jesus who doesn’t mind materialism and who would never call us to give away everything we have . . . A Jesus who is fine with nominal devotion that does not infringe on our comforts . . . A Jesus who brings us comfort and prosperity as we live out our Christian spin on the American dream.”

IV. Jesus Wants Our Loss (Loss of Control)
Business as usual will not win the world to Christ.
It will take Radical Discipleship.

Off Topic: 2016 Summer Speakers
This Summer we have some amazing teachers lined up! Our senior pastor, Scot Longyear, is on sabbatical this summer, but he has hand-selected some of the top Christian speakers in the nation to teach at MCC while he is away. He's asked each speaker to bring their best sermon, on a topic they are passionate about.
So, be sure to keep God at the top of your priority list this Summer and come hear some great messages of inspiration and encouragement from our Off-Topic Summer speakers.
