SESSION DESCRIPTION
The early believers’ lives had been so radically transformed by Christ that they could not help but share Him with the world. Town to town they preached to anyone who would listen; healing the sick, blind and lame. They were accounted as those who had turned their world upside down; changing ideologies, customs and the culture of their time. What made their methods and message so effective that thousands were saved on a day? What element did they embody that allowed for such explosive experiences?
It is our desire to touch the world in the way Christ has purposed us but in order to turn our world upside down we must flip our lives inside out. Come ready to be challenged, strengthened and encouraged as we look to discover the elements that create an explosive experience!
