Eric is the Executive Pastor of Christ Fellowship, of Miami, Florida, and co-author of the Simple Church. I don’t know that there is another book that has impacted the leaders in our church more than this book, and we are so excited that he was able to join us for this week.

Here a few of the highlights from his challenge.

“Your view of the mission will impact how you live your mission.”

“At one time, I thought that I was a Jesus salesman, and that my whole job was to sell product Jesus and close the deal.”

“We are ambassadors, not salesman or hunters or anything else.”

“As ambassadors, we represent Christ in this culture for a limited amount of time.”

“It is not our job to sell Jesus, but represent Him.”

“When we understand that we are sent, the ordinary will become sacred.”

“Jesus stepped into our culture and rescued us…we have to step into this culture and rescue others.”
