Chosen Conference
Stepping into a big jacket can be quite the adventure! Imagine standing there, holding this oversized garment, wondering how you'll ever fit into it. You might start by carefully sliding one arm in, then the other, feeling a bit lost in all that extra fabric. But with each step, you gradually adjust, finding your way until you're comfortably enveloped in the jacket, ready to face the world.
Similarly, embarking on a journey of kingdom enlargement can evoke similar feelings. At first, it might seem daunting, with challenges looming large and uncertainties abound. Just like stepping into that big jacket, expanding a kingdom requires patience, persistence, and a willingness to embrace the unknown.
The Chosen team invites you to join us as we explore the theme of kingdom enlargement through the lens of the bigger jacket. Let's explore the profound lessons it holds for our lives and communities.
Light refreshments will be served throughout including Lunch.
