The Climb

Phil McKinney, Ben Pickett

"Rising Above the Noise to Hear the Voice of Jesus"

Zacchaeus climbed a tree . . . as an adult. In fact, he chose to look undignified among a crowd of people for one purpose: to see Jesus! And Jesus is looking for tree climbers—those who are willing to climb above the noise of the world and allow Jesus to enter their hearts. This session is for those who are not satisfied with a surface level, crowd-based, noisy Christianity, but for people who are willing to enter into a risky encounter with Jesus in order to allow Him to confront them where they are most unChristlike. So, are you ready to climb?

Bread with Strangers

Jeff Brown 

The disciples met a stranger on the road to Emmaus. They welcomed him, and when they broke bread with him, they realized the stranger was Jesus. This story is our story, and it’s the story of our church's engagement with immigrants, refugees, and other "strangers." Our calling is not simply to be Jesus to people, but to see Jesus in all people.

The Lost Piece: Disability and the Church

Grant Azbell 

"Why Churches Should Engage Families That Experience Disability Like Their Life Depends on It (Because It Does)"
