No Quest this Sunday Aug 31. Meet us down at Killen’s Pond State Park for our All Church Labor Day Picnic!
Last night, I mentioned two books that I recommend that go along well with what we’ve been discussing. Here they are:
Wild Goose Chase: Reclaim the Adventure of Pursuing God
Seizing Your Divine Moment: Dare to Live a Life of Adventure
This week we wrapped up our current series The Lost Adventure of Following Jesus.
Adventure
• Jesus wants to lead us on an adventure, where God is active in our lives
• Living in God’s presence there is always something happening and about to happen (adventure – adventurus – “about to happen”)
Spirit Led
In our day heaven and earth are on tiptoe waiting for the emergence of a Spirit-led, Spirit-intoxicated, Spirit-empowered people. All of creation watches expectantly for the springing up of a disciplined, freely gathered, martyr people who know in this life the life and power of the kingdom of God. It has happened before. It can happen again. - Richard Foster
This past Sunday night at Quest, Pastor Coon spoke about the Adventure of Evangelism.

The greatest weapon you have for evangelism is your own story!
