More From Sunday's Sermon!

In Sunday's message, Pastor Kurt challenged us to play offense. So many exist just allowing life to happen. There is no intentionality, no living on purpose; life puts us in a posture of playing defense. God intends for us to live playing offense. There is nothing defensive about chasing a lion into a pit, but that is the example of a mighty warrior we see in 2 Samuel. Benaiah chased a lion into a pit on a snowy day! The lion didn't chase him causing him to play defense. Benaiah was on the offense and chased that lion!
