Wouldn’t it be great if the church could emulate such an approach?  An approach that says we’re “all in” on the mission of making disciples.  An approach that involves every single one of us sharing the gospel message with others as we have been called to do.

So, this morning, as we walk through this State of the Church Address, we’re going to talk about our “wake” and what we want it to look like as we seek to outline the legacy we desire to leave on our community.  And we’re going to do that by looking at how this all plays out in the life of an Old Testament prophet named Samuel.
