Church For The Sake of Others
February 19, 2012 - "Jesus came to seek and to save the lost." Who is the lost? Anyone who has been alienated from the love and grace of God for any reason. Our challenge is that the natural gravitational pull of our sin nature is to think that the blessing of God is for us. We become exclusive, rather than inclusive. We begin to think that the church is primarily for our benefit, rather than for the sake of others. Consider what a church looks like that follows Jesus' heart to be a blessing to those who are lost from God.
