Less a sermon and more of a bold sharing of the heart, Pastor Chris had just come back from a recent trip fired up and ready to share some encouragement and his passion for what we're doing at Epiclesis. Along the way, he also talked about our annual activity report, gave some sharp rebukes about what church growth experts would have us do, presented a kind of "State of the Church" assessment, and made two important announcements about pastoral ministry at Epiclesis.
