Radiant Church: Mass Creates Momentum

Sermon by Corky Calhoun

Finally a subject I am an expert on....MASS! The concept of mass creating momentum in church came 15 years ago following my self-description of being a Rhino. The truth is we want to bump into things for Jesus, and the impact is always greater when we crash into things together. There really is power in numbers, unified behind a single mission or vision. It's part of what we committed our year to, which is all of us at least once a month be in the Historic Sanctuary in prayer for the needs of our community and the world. In an age of individualism, and many selfish agendas there is a powerful witness in the "us being one" and moving as one. I think the question I want to answer this Sunday is; momentum for what? Are we clear about what we are trying to do when we say we want to "Be" the church. You see, we aren't just "the" church (location), we are called to "be" the church (mobile, missional, movement). I think this is what separates those vessels that are radiant from the ones whose light is fading away. Being the church in our community, your light with my light, with our neighbors light for the benefit of others to see is what it is all about. Join us Sunday as we continue to build a strong foundation for being Radiant!
