Summary

Pastor Allen suggest that we are supposed to be difference makers that stand in the gap for this generation. Inviting us to imagine, that just as Jesus recruited Saul of Tarsus, He is still recruiting people to take a stand for the advancement of the Kingdom in this age. We are called to be more than church goers, but to stand in the gap for the purposes of the Kingdom with a conviction that would make us willing to face hardship and sacrifice.

1:01.0	The topic is standing in the gap. It's a pretty familiar phrase. If you've been around church much, I suspect you've heard it.
1:07.0	It's a familiar line from the Prophet Ezekiel, and it's been used a great deal in discussions through the church,
