Road Trip: Safety Not Guaranteed
People like to think of themselves as “adventurous”, “daring”, “bold”, but in reality we spend most of our lives avoiding risk, being careful, playing it safe. The hard fact is in life safety is not guaranteed. This goes with our walk with Christ as well. This week we concluded our “Summer Road Trip” series travailing with the Apostle Paul on his 1st missionary journey and see how Paul and the people around him took risk every step of the way.
