Dangerous Church

June 8, 2009

I enjoyed the opportunity to preach at Fellowship General Baptist Church Sunday May 31st. About four years ago Craig Groeschel preached a message to his church called "Dangerous Church." I was so impressed, and personally impacted by the message that I decide to use it as the framework for this opportunity.

Think on this: No movement of God, throughout history, was ever safe, predictable or comfortable. Rather, it was messy, unpredictable and dangerous.

Two thousand years later,however, the church has grown predictable, comfortable and safe. Many churches have simply fallen asleep and slipped into a coma. Many in our churches are Christians in name only. We now live in a country that holds to a civilized form of Christianity. "Having the form...but denying the power." 

In fact, we have grown accustom to a culture of safety. We show up sing a few songs, shake a few hands and go home. But this is not God’s design for the church. He has called us to be dangerous for His sake and His kingdom.

I am thankful for the opportunity I had to share God's word with the people of Fellowship General Baptist Church. At the end of each service several people raised their hand to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.  I hope you enjoy.
