• How do you picture the church? Is it more like a building or a community?
• Do you picture the church in a defensive or offensive posture?
• Why do you think that Jesus talked more about making disciples than building churches?
• Matthew 18:20 says, “Where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there with them.” This implies the church is wherever the people following Jesus gather. Does this support the idea of the ekklesia being the church gathered or the church scattered? How?
• What is one take away from today’s message you can put into practice immediately?
What If The Church 2013
What if the Church (Olathe Campus)
What if the Church, in all its diversity of congregations, banded together for the common purpose of making Jesus famous in this city through love? Can you imagine the unity that would come and friendships that would be fostered across visible and invisible lines? It could even bring spiritual and physical wholeness resulting in transformation within ourselves and our entire city. In this message series we’ll discover the value and esteem Christ has for His Church and, when unified, the impact it can make on the world around us.

Don't Waste Your Life
What do I want to accomplish? How do I measure success? What is my purpose in life? How do I not waste it? These aren’t just questions kids graduating from high school ask. They are questions we all should be continually asking ourselves. If we only have one life to live lets have an honest discussion about what a life well spent looks like.
Unexpected Message Series
Throughout history, God has made heroes of faith out of the most unlikely people. In this series at our Gardner Campus, you’ll see the stories of Biblical men and women who gave all they had regardless of their past mistakes, apparent inadequacies or difficult circumstances. Their faith and obedience to God produced unexpected results and made history. God works like this still today. He can use you.
