For The City
06/02/2019
Jesus launched the Church as a movement in the world, for the world. Over 2000 years later, most people know about the Church, but are increasingly confused about what the Church is there for. Too often, the Church is famous for the things it stands against, instead of the people it exists for. Over the next four weeks, we will return to our the words and vision of our founder, Jesus, to recapture the spark that first made the Church a force that changed the world.

Being a church for our city means learning to say “yes” to the very people who’ve said “no” to God. After all, isn’t this what Jesus did for us? The message of the cross is God’s self-giving, go-first move in the direction of a world that rejected Him. This week, we’ll discover what it means to say yes for the people and to the people God wants us to reach.

What happens to a person, group, organization, or movement when they stop dreaming? What happens when we have more memories of the past than imaginings of the future? When the places you’ve been are more compelling than the places you are going, the end is near. May it never be said of the church that Jesus built that we stopped dreaming of a better future, a Kingdom future, for our city.
