Purpose feat. Geoff Van Leeuwen (E7/S3)

Purpose.  What is our true purpose?
Guest Geoff VanLeewen, a fellow disciple, joins us to share some of his journey.

You will be encouraged and challenged as we talk about:

• What do you find security (salvation) in?
• "Salvation by the System"
• You find the end of your own means no matter what.
• If you are not saved by grace,  an authentic faith in Christ; then you are not saved (you can't truly be saved by works).
• How do we operate in the mission field around us?
• What is a healthy fear of God?
• What we do is a reflection of who we are.
• Masculinity involves rejecting passivity.
• Insecurity is something we all share in common.
• Letting God change our heart to be loving and missional.
