A new series about Christs unending love and the need to make sure we are spreading the contagious “good news” of the Gospel, despite the church’s reputation problem of being judgmental.

2 Corinthians 5:16-21
New Living Translation (NLT)
16 So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now! 17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

18 And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. 19 For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. 20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” 21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin,[a] so that we could be made right with God through Christ.

Questions. Why pretend? We all have them. If you don’t, then the greatest question might be why don’t you?

Woven Together, Part 3

bloom — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:22:43 +0000

Why do we need others? Why do we need friends? Why can’t we live in solitude?
Doesn’t it seem, at times, like life would have less drama and be less difficult if we didn’t have to deal with people? Jesus didn’t live in solitude, and we don’t believe any of us were meant to live in solitude either. Friendships have purpose…they strengthen you, they make you happier…and make life more beautiful.
