Move Toward the Mess

Description

Some pastors preach boring sermons. Some church music is dull. But heres the thing: If Jesus had been boring, the disciples wouldnt have followed him and the Pharisees wouldnt have killed him.

So if youre bored, dont waste another minute. If your church service feels like a failed pep rally that never leads to the actual game, then its time for you to follow Jesus onto the field where the opposition is real and the stakes are extraordinary. It will get messy. It wont always be comfortable.

But youll make a difference. And youll discover that nobodys bored out there. Nobody.
