Our message series, Engaging With Purpose, is inspired by Michael Frosts’ book, Surprise the World: The Five Habits of Highly Missional People. Last week Pastor Josh Mutter introduced us to the five habits for living transformational lives: Bless, Eat, Listen, Learn, Sent (B.E.L.L.S.) (click here to listen to the message, if you missed it). This week, he talked in greater depth about the first habit : Bless.
