SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (CHRISTIAN…? – 3)
CHRISTIAN…? (3 – Insiders/Outsiders)
CELEBRATORS…
CHRISTIAN…? If you were to ask 100 People WHAT it means… You’d probably get 100 Different Answers! We’re starting a Brand New Series this week at COC – which we will attempt to tackle the tough IDEA of WHAT IT REALLY MEANS TO BE A CHRISTIAN!? I’d strongly encourage you to do whatever it takes to NOT MISS A WEEK!
Below is a sneak-peak for THIS Week… (3) INSIDERS/OUTSIDERS
If FOLLOWERS leverage ANYTHING besides LOVE towards CULTURE - they lesson their INFLUENCE… EVERY TIME!
The Bible doesn’t tell us NOT TO JUDGE -- it tells us WHO TO JUDGE… those INSIDE! (Matthew 7:1-6)
Jesus didn’t expect NON-believers to behave like Believer’s – He expected His Followers to behave like Jesus Followers!
The Church has been Amazing at policing the behavior of those OUTSIDE the Church for a really long time - yet they’ve been Terrible at doing the same for those INSIDE the Church!
In 1 Corinthians 5:12-13… (Paul in essences says…) What business is it of mine to Judge those Outside the Church!? Are you not to Judge those Inside? God will Judge those on the Outside!
The Church will have its Greatest Impact when it polices its OWN BEHAVIOR... instead of EVERYONE ELSE'S!
See You Sunday Celebrators… (9a / 10:45a)
RunTheRace! (Heb 12:1-2)
