A contagious faith begins with a critical, initial contact.

A truly contagious faith is spread in a truly peculiar way. How could such a treasure spread in such a strange, unthinkable way?

The question at the heart of every evangelistic effort, "how can we see a great move of God here?" A contagious faith, and therefore the beginning faith epidemic, begins with one, single, simple conviction.

Stepping into a new season together, what happens when you combine an all-powerful God, a Holy Spirit that sets people free and a group of people who live out of an abundance of love and faith in God? We call that a faith epidemic - a contagious faith.

Mark 5:14-17This week we're continuing where we left off, looking at what we can expect to see when God starts moving. We're going to see what happened to a crazy man when Jesus showed up and find out why people were upset when a man put his clothes back on.

This week we're taking a look at what it is that causes God to move, what we can expect when He begins to move, and the role our past plays in being a part of God's movements in our world.

Luke 14:12-14. Picking up where we left off last week, Jesus is dealing with the difference between religious behaviour and true discipleship. What we see is that a church that follows Jesus is a church that (3) gives in light of the mercy of God; a truth that creates the potential for the church to be the most generous organisation on the earth.

Luke 14:1-11. Jesus deals with the difference between religious behaviour and true discipleship. What we see is that a church that follows Jesus (1) knows the mission is our highest priority and (2) considers others more important than ourselves.
