"Jesus was unpredictable and inspiring; the crowds hung on His every word. If we are studying that Jesus. If we are truly spending time with the very Man who fed the 5,000 and raised the dead, how is it church is so boring? Either we are not studying the same Jesus or worse He did not show up at our gathering." Joshua Kennedy
