Have you ever heard the term “A sense of adventure” or “We are off on an adventure”? What exactly does that mean and, more importantly, what does that mean for you? I have long been intrigued by those men and women who pursue the greatest of adventures and often wondered what drives them to do it? Is it a purpose, a lifelong dream, a driven nature that seeks out those possibilities of achievements? Are they looking to fulfill some desire that has been churning in the innermost part of their being?
I suppose there are just as many answers as there are questions, and I for one have always had the questions. You see, I often lack in the “doing” department which has always left me quite disappointed. No, it isn’t that I’ve never tried or sought out adventure, because I have and, yet I am also my own worst enemy telling myself that “I can’t” or “I won’t”. Oh, those words drive a steel spike right through the heart when you’re trying to build up the courage.

Exciting partnering church plant news!
Philip and Samantha Quinn, who have been leading an inner-city site of Cornerstone Church in Johannesburg for eight years, are now planting a church in the city of London in 2018. The church is going to be called Christ Light London.
Phil and Sam are very excited about this plant, but there's a lot to do leading up to it. So there are few things you can join them in prayer for:

Dear friends,
We have decided to send this email to you as a friend who has had a part in praying, prophesying and partnering with us in our next step. As you know, for the past year we have been stirred and prodded by the Holy Spirit to prepare for change. While continuing to serve as elders at RCC (which we LOVE), we have been diligently seeking Him (along with Terry and Sandy Kreuger) regarding what His dreams are for us.
God has spoken clearly and supernaturally to us that we are to be part of planting a church in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. Tasmania???
Why Tasmania?! Only because Jesus has said Tasmania! Aren’t we too old to plant a church? That’s what we thought! Apparently, Jesus thinks differently.
He has spent much of the last 9 months dealing with our hearts in bringing us back to a place of total trust in Him and a willingness to obey His directions, even if it means being stretched and uncomfortable. Many of the relating churches in Australia have been praying for years to see churches planted in Tasmania, the southernmost island state of Australia. Now seems to be the time!

What is Reformation Day? Who was Martin Luther? What does any of it have to do with us today?
I asked these questions when the 500th anniversary of Reformation Day rolled around. I know I was taught something about the Reformation in history class at school. The story seemed long and overly complex as it dove into the messy history of the church, religion, and politics so I tuned it out. So, what did Martin Luther do that was so important to us?
The key to the Reformation movement was the Bible.

On November 14 at the Beach Lab we had Firebrand's first Songstories!
We had some of our musicians share some of their journeys with God as they played original songs. We had an open invitation for anyone to come, listen, and snack together. It was a wonderful time of fellowship paired with excellent music.
Thank you so much for coming and bringing food to our event.
Here's a short video documenting our time.
