Tradition
These are my notes from our awesome MCRemix Graduation last night.
We carry on the tradition of making disciples. We are here tonight to celebrate that process. There are 28 disciples of Jesus Christ that dropped their nets, walked away from everything else, made huge sacrifices, all to follow Him. But they didn’t make it here alone. We have the staff, parents, home-openers, and many others who...

Casey just got a new car, it cost a good chunk of change and let’s just say he is a little particular about—which he should be because he worked for...
