Francis Chan is the Senior Pastor of Cornerstone Community Church in Simi Valley, Callifornina.  He is an amazing communicator and passionate about calling the next generation to have a deeper love for Jesus.   

Here are some of the nuggets from his teaching today:

• Sometimes as a church we try to slow down or calm down people who are fired up and institutionalize their faith.
• I don’t like the Book of Acts because I never read it and say, “Wow, that’s just like us!”
• We have the power of the Holy Spirit yet we lack boldness to walk across the street and share Christ with our neighbors.
• Let’s not stifle and compartmentalize fired up people any more than we already do.
• People say you’re a radical and then you read the Word and you realize you’re not even close.
• It seems like we’re talking people out of living the kind of life Jesus calls us to live.
• What I’m doing is so stupid if there’s no Heaven.
• We never look more like Christ than when we’re rescuing!
• We’ve got to start praying for more boldness.  Aren’t there things God has called you to do and you’ve just been scared?
