Life is full of risks, but which ones are really necessary? - Our lives our filled to the brim with activity, and there are risks are at every turn. But which of those are necessary risks? Ones that allow us to engage deeper and live our lives more authentically? Which risks are we called – in one way or another – to take. From a biblical perspective, Jesus’ disciples took risks. We may initially see the risk as them dropping everything to follow Christ’s call, but maybe the true risk was building relationships with those who were risking it all, who were seeking wholeness through community. Join us as we explore and learn about Necessary Risks together.
