Emmaus Church PodcastAuthor: Anson McMahon & Emmaus Church Pastors
Emmaus Church is a Gospel-Centered body of believers in Buford, Georgia.As part of the Acts 29 Network, we believe that our mission has been clearly communicated by our Lord Jesus when He commanded, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." (Matthew 28:19-20)It is our belief that every member of Christ's church, in obedience to this Great Commission, should view his/herself as a missionary for Jesus Christ in his/her current context (culture, neighborhood, workplace, school, city, team, club, etc). We should exist for the magnificent purpose of knowing Christ intimately and making Him known to others. In short-we have been rescued by our Savior, Jesus, so that others might be rescued!We exist to glorify God through the preaching of His Word (2 Timothy 4:1-5), the praise and worship of His good and holy name (John 4:23-24), the loving service of our community (John 15:13), the planting of more Gospel-Centered churches both here and abroad (Matthew 28:18-20), and the training and equipping of His followers that we might be a multitude of worshipers on a distinct mission to make Christ known (Ephesians 4:11-12).Join us Sundays at 9a and 11a at 75 Maddox Road Buford, GA 30519Follow us on Twitter at @EmmausChurchA29Find us on iTunes.

Discover how wise preparation is not a lack of faith, but a vital part of it. Learn how God sovereignly works through the most unlikely people and situations to accomplish His redemptive purposes. This message will challenge you to move past the fear of discomfort and boldly obey God, trusting that He has already gone before you and that your faith will create a story worth telling.Key Points:God is always in control, but He expects me to use my brain.Faith comes by hearing the Word of God.When you take risky steps of faith in obedience to God, you end up having a story to tell.God's plan of redemption extends to all people, even the most unlikely.Your identity is found in Christ's redemption, not in your past sins.Reflect & Discuss:Where in your life is God calling you to take a prepared, wise step of faith, even if it feels uncomfortable or risky?Rahab's faith was sparked by hearing what God had done.
