What's the Point?

Radical, revolutionary, life change.....what is all this about? It is time for their to be a radical change in the church. It's time for the church to be the hands and feet of Jesus. To really care about the things Jesus cared about.
What did Jesus care about? We can see a glimpse on who He spent most of His time with. Who was that? The sinners, tax collectors....a real unsavory group. He touched the people that the rest of society shunned. He got a bad rap because of the people He spent time with. The 'religious' people of His day were constantly criticizing Him because of this. Jesus cared about people....ALL people, no matter who they were or where they came from.
The thing is, the church still believes all this.....but we have taken a hands off approach. It's been like this-"I will just give money to this"....and that's it. The problem is, it hasn't worked. Our world is in worse shape than it has ever been.
It's going to take an army...a huge army to combat these issues. No government agency, no charity, no social program is big enough to handle this. But there is a sleeping giant waiting to be awakened. It is time for the church to wake-up. At GCF, this is at our core of what we believe. When Jesus said -Go and make disciples........it wasn't a suggestion, a good idea....NO. It was a command. And we are going to go....and revolutionize the world. Do you want to be enlisted in this army?

And it begins....

Wanted to just welcome everyone to this blog. Hopefully in the upcoming days, weeks, and months I will be posting a little bit about what the vision, purpose, drive of Goose Creek Fellowship is.
Anytime a new church starts to put down roots, there are going to be questions......like......Are they a cult? Do they just want my money? What makes them different? What is the point of church anyway? I hope to use this blog to answer any questions.....and to get people on fire for what is coming.


JUST FYI....GCF is purely in the beginning stages. It doesn't gather weekly....so it's really a great time to be in on the ground floor.
