Madison Christian Church

There are bumper stickers and plaques that deliver the message, "The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing."  After you sort out all those words, you realize this is a reminder that it is easy to get distracted.  It is easy for us to take our eye off the ball.  This is very possible in the church.

Having served at Madison Christian Church since January of 1996, nothing should really surprise me about this amazing congregation.  However, it is good to get the occasional reminder of what an extraordinary congregation Madison Christian Church truly is.

A few months ago I preached a series of messages and began each sermon with the following question:  "If each one won one, and each one won won one, how many would be won when each one won won one?"  The answer:  Lot's of people.  That is God's process for winning the world to Jesus Christ.
