Sacrifice Your Money for a Specific Purpose
By: Dennis Queen
Series: Radical
For our last message in “The Radical Experiment,” Dennis challenges us to give sacrificially for a specific purpose and for a set period of time. He encourages us to give away what hurts to give; this means giving not according to our ability, but beyond our ability. Why? Because our giving blesses us and enables us to spend our lives radically on specific, urgent spiritual and physical needs in the world.

Jan 28, 2018Spend Your Time in Another ContextBy: Jakob KingSeries: RadicalIn this morning’s message, guest speaker Jakob King (Middle School Minister at Eagle Christian Church, ID) challenges us to spend our time in another context as part of “The Radical Experiment. Jakob reminds us that we are “sent” and, based on Acts 1:8, he invites us to consider what Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and the ends of the earth are in our lives. In other words, how will we go and give of ourselves in our neighborhoods, our cities, our surrounding communities, and the whole world.

Jan 14, 2018Read Through The Entire WordBy: Troy BurnsSeries: Radical
For the second challenge in the Radical Experiment, Troy discusses the commitment we can make to “Read Through the Entire Word.” This means we systematically read through the entire Bible—Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 and all 31,102 verses in between—over the course of a year. Our brothers and sisters around the world often gather at the risk of their lives to hear God’s Word. If you and I will join them in radical obedience to Christ, we must start with our Bibles open and our minds engaged.

Jan 7, 2018Pray for the Entire WorldBy: Troy BurnsSeries: Radical
Continuing with our Radical Experiment, Troy focuses on the challenge: "Pray for the Entire World." If God's plan is for the disciples of Jesus to carry the message into all the world, and to tell others, who will in turn tell others until the last person in the farthest corner has heard the story, then we should be praying for the world and for God's plan to reach it. And apparently, Jesus' concern was not that the lost would not come to the Father; instead, His concern was that His followers would not go to the lost.

Dec 10, 2017Living When Dying is GainBy: Troy BurnsSeries: RadicalIn our last regular message from the Radical series, Troy discusses what it means to live our lives when "Dying is Gain," including an understanding of the risk and reward that goes along with it. He challenges us to ask ourselves the question, "Do we believe the reward found in Jesus is worth the risk of following Him?" And the bottom line is that the only way death can be a reward is if dying really is gain.

Dec 3, 2017There is No Plan BBy: Dean WestermanSeries: RadicalIn our latest message from the Radical series, Dean discusses God's plan to make salvation possible to a dying world, and why our going out into the world as Christians is urgent, not optional. He explains how every single person needs a Savior and how each person can be saved by responding to God's offer of salvation. In providing this wonderful offer, God has no "Plan B;" He only has the plan that's in His Word.

Nov 26, 2017How Much is Enough?By: Troy BurnsSeries: RadicalIn our latest message in the Radical series, Troy helps us consider the question, "How Much is Enough?" He also challenges us to consider whether we have blind spots in our lives when it comes to caring for the poor and needy around us and throughout the world. As Americans, we live in relative luxury while nearly half of the world's people live in extreme poverty. Each one of us as Christians must wrestle with what Jesus is calling us to do with our resources as we follow Him.

He shares practical examples and real-life applications on how we can join together to fulfill God's purpose. By obeying Jesus' command to "make disciples of all nations," we can actually impact the entire world for the sake of eternity.

Oct 29, 2017Beginning at the End of OurselvesBy: Troy BurnsSeries: RadicalContinuing in our "Radical" series, Troy shares about our need to give up on trying to do things in our own power. This is when God does His best work; when we come to the end of ourselves and choose to trust in His power, not our own. God does this if we are radically dependent on Him and if we are radically devoted to making much of Him.
