Sermon excerpt: 

Going all in is a thrilling feeling – to let go of past inhibitions and embark on something new; to act with a kind boldness you’ve never felt before; to take a risk on something uncertain; to make a radical commitment to something that is so important to you that you’re willing to forsake everything else.

Going all in is a complete and total rush.

And often, it’s a spectacularly terrible mistake. Just ask the crowds Jesus was talking to!
