Cultivating a Culture of Honor
Today is Shirl and I’s 23rd anniversary
Happy Anniversary Shirl I Love you!
The Kingdom Way is to Love God Love People Make Disciples
The only way for what we are building to last is to ensure a culture of honor is ingrained into our DNA
Today I want to talk about a Cultivating a Culture of Honor
A Culture of Honor has 2 Aspects:
a. Honoring God
b.
Honoring one another
The meaning of honor: To value, to respect, to consider as precious, and to give weight to.
3:06
I believe this passage of Scripture is very relevant to the current climate of our world culture
Here we have a woman caught in sin, and the religious leaders bringing her to Jesus to be condemned
Where was the man?
It takes 2 to commit adultery doesn’t it?
2. The Pharisees would legally correct
Law stated she should be stoned to death
3. What did Jesus write on the ground that made the religious leaders leave?
4. How did Jesus treat the woman?
He honored her
He elevated her , made her human
He Did not condemn her
He Corrected her
There are 2 ends of the spectrum in the modern church
Judgement vs Grace
on one end of the spectrum
Some churches hold up signs in protest and hurl hatred toward the sinner
On the other side of the spectrum focus soley on grace and conform to the ways of the world.
Accepting whatever the world says, and re-interpreting the Bible.
I believe both these methods are in error
Jesus did not condemn, but neither did allow the sin to continue.
Go.
From now on sin no more.
A part of the message of Grace that is missing in many churches.
So where does Kingdom Way fall on the Spectrum?
I believe we need to be open to developing relationships with the pre believer.
honoring people, but not accepting that they remain in the sin.
There are many issues that face the Church in our society today.
The beliefs of our society and our own, are getting increasingly distant
Like many times in History, what the Church should believe, and what our society believe are in direct conflict.
Issues like Abortion, and homosexuality are not enjoyable topics when you are talking with an unbeliever
Despite what many people who claim to be Christians might say.
the Bible is clear
Grace is not a doormat to wipe your feet and then continue the way you are living
Grace is the power to live your life the way God intended.
Its not just about getting your sins forgiven, It about living free from the power of sin.
