OK, so here’s the first “sermon snapshot” from Sunday, January 24, 2010 – Flow pt.4: Liquid Evangelism. This particular clip is actually three clips, one from the beginning, and two from the end of the sermon. Hopefully a good reminder and some good things to think about…
Here is a little piece from the sermon where I discussed two different approaches to “church”. Think it through…
