| Description: | I love Jesus. I hate "churchy." I love my neighbor. He's never darkened the door of a church...churchy isn't going to cut it for him. I know Jesus loves my neighbor as well. So we're forming a church family that isn't churchy, but loving. We don't take ourselves seriously, but we do take Jesus seriously. Most people think that most of church is mostly boring, so we believe the most powerful, dynamic, loving, impactful moments of your week ought to happen while you're intentionally focusing on God. He's a big God. If you're bored, it isn't God you're focused on... |

Don't Miss your Moment
I want to show you a moment.This moment is a glimpse. If you play your cards right, if you trust Jesus and take a RISK every now and again for HIM, then this moment is certainly one that you can look forward to.But if you think it’s about you. If you choose to turn inward. If you never take a RISK for Jesus, then you’ll miss it.Don’t miss your moment.

Akeelah and the Bee, and a Church on Fire
I watched Akeelah and the Bee last Friday night with my family. It was a warm movie about an inner city middle school girl, who competes, and wins the National Spelling Bee. Samuel L. Jackson plays her coach. The uplifting story line contained elements of overcoming, of rising above, of stepping through fear, of d

CRAVE Adventure
I think it’s at the center of the human experience. Adventure. God has planted deep within our hearts a longing for FULL life, for experiencing His Abundance, for stepping through our fear and taking a RISK with HIM…this is partially what we refer to when we use the word FAITH. Now, I know that there is another aspect of the human experience that wars with this one: the side that longs for comfort, for ease, for peace. That hobbit-ish side of each of us that thinks adventures are nasty little things that make one late for dinner.Here’s the road that I’m walking NOW: I have heard God’s call, and we’re walking the road of RISK at Overlake Christian Church (www.occ.org)
