Who are the “outsiders”? How do we appropriately defend and hold on to the Christian traditions, yet, simultaneously do what it takes to be generous, big-hearted, hospitable and welcoming to outsiders?

Gifts emerge and evolve in response to a call. Many people do not yet know the full scope of their gifts because they have never heard and obeyed a call with their whole heart.

Calling: there is a mutually dependant relationship to Spiritual formation: Appropriate disciplines to realize any potential; Everyone would like to be Michelangelo now, but who would like to spend 4 years lying on their back on scaffolding suspended under a dome no one had yet heard of!

Pursuing call always risks rejection. The hearts of some of our friends and family will not be with us.

The conversion of Paul speaks HOPE. Paul was 180 degrees out of what God was actually doing, yet God found him.

According to statistics, we live in a society where 98% of people in America say they believe in God. Eighty percent of those believe in heaven. Half of Americans say they are "born again". There is a residue of Christendom in America, but many are living with some misinformation about what it might be to actually give ones live to Christ.

Acts Chapter 8. Sermon by Pastor Todd Hunter (we apologize, but the previous upload somehow went missing so we are re-uploading this episode)

Pastor Todd Hunter talks about he relationship between repentance and the Kingdom of God. The verse "repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand" signifies a journey. Just as the prodigal son - repented and 'journeyed' back home.

Time is not a commodity. You can't save it, can't manipulate it, can't control it. It passes. All we can do is experience it. If we want to encounter God, we must restructure our lives; a re-ordering of desires, a restructuring of our time in order to align ourselves with God.

"Accept the surprises as they come" - Todd Hunter

People find themselves in a space, place or time that leads up to something that is for them, an epiphany. Sometimes these pilgrimages pass through places of suffering.

"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us." - John 1:14 :: What difference should He made? What difference does He make? What difference can He make? Pastor Todd Hunter explores the Christ of Christmas as more than just a religious symbol.
