VIBE 07 - Way of The Fool

Becoming a Christian is not a magical enterprise by which we are automatically transformed into better people.  We must train to become who God intends us to be.  

We need to think like Jesus.

In the eyes of the world, Jesus was a fool.  He did not abide by the rules of his day; the people he associated with were shunned by society; his Sermon on the Mount reads like a primer on being left behind, stepped on, and ignored.  In order for us to truly be the people Jesus wants us to be, we too must learn to become "foolish." *

The VIBE conference is a time for all those within our NewSong alliance to come together to be inspired, informed, and ignited for what God has in store for our lives.  Amidst the talks with Brennan Manning, you’ll find space to get to know others more intimately, to develop friendships, and to hear from God.  You’ll walk away with a soul that is rejuvenated and ready for action!
