The scriptures have plenty of ‘next steps’ but one of the recurring themes was that they were supposed to ‘’Go &amp; Tell The Others.” They were supposed to ‘witness’ to all they had seen &amp; heard. If it was true for them, it must also be true for us. But witness to what? Witness how? And where? Jeff explores these questions in our opening sermon of the new series: “You Can’t Stay Here.”]]>
