LESSON TEXT
List of excuses
“Church is for good people, and I won’t really fit in.”
“Church is for believers, and I have some doubts.”
“Church is for families, and I’m from a broken home.”
“Church is for people with good habits, and I’ve got some bad ones.”
“Church is for people who grew up in Sunday school; my parents didn’t take me.”
“Church is for respectable people, and I’ve messed up my life.”
“Church is for married couples, and I’m single.”
The truth is there is no typical church member.
No one will check your spiritual ID at the door on Sunday.
There are no 2-page, extensive forms to fill out on your first visit; no references are required; no background checks to check us out.
We all had to start where we were on our journey to heaven.
Some came from farther in the far country than others, but we all had the smell of the pigpen on us
GOD WANTS TO MAKE SOMETHING OF YOU, AND THE CHURCH IS HIS WORKSHOP.
Jesus Disciples
God offers us the same grace—identical mercy, forgiveness, compassion, and opportunity.
There is no sin too bad, no deed too awful, no thought too embarrassing to be forgiven.
We don’t condemn - we show there’s a much better way
JESUS IS YOUR FRIEND, AND CHURCH IS WHERE HE MEETS HIS FRIENDS
Look at the great things Christ offers his friends
Culture says that the church must change with the times, tone down talk about sin, and make no demands for life change.
Just focus on God’s love and do not mention sin, we are told.
The world sees only two responses to sinners: either love them and accept their lifestyle as is, or disagree with them and thereby judge them and hate them.
either was Jesus’ response—He loved sinners while maintaining holy expectations.
THE HOLY SPIRIT WANTS TO COMFORT YOU, AND THE CHURCH IS HIS HABITATION
The Philippian Jailer
Church at Corinth
THE DEVIL IS AGAINST YOU, AND CHURCH IS THE SAFEST PLACE FOR YOU
Satan wants to distract and delay
CHRISTIANS ARE LOVING PEOPLE, AND CHURCH IS WHERE YOU CAN CONNECT WITH THEM.
