Matthew 28:16-20

“Discipleship is the process of becoming who Jesus would be if he were you.” -Dallas Willard

 

“The difference between the one who goes to rural China and the one who goes to suburban Durham is geography and that’s it.” -Matt Hoffman

 

“We expect a trumpet and triumphant entry, but as always, God surprises us by showing up in ordinary things: in bread, in wine, in water, in words, in sickness, in healing, in death, in a manger of hay, in a mother’s womb, in an empty tomb. Church isn’t some community you join or some place you arrive. Church is what happens when someone taps you on the shoulder and whispers in your ear, ”Pay attention, this is holy ground: God is here.” -Rachel Held Evans

Philippians 2:5-11
