You want a more loving church?
Of course you do. Who doesn’t?
The reason you want a more loving church is that you think less gossip, more kindness and compassion leads to a happier weekend experience for you.
But here’s what may surprise you. A more loving church—a church whose members sacrifice self for the entire body—also ensures pivotal, powerful encounters with the community, daily.
Here’s something else you may know but are too often unconscious of.
God expects nothing less.
God expects your church to be full of self sacrificing members. How else can your church be the body of Christ?
How can you draw people to Christ if you’re not like Him?
How can you be Christlike unless you’re like Christ—full of self-sacrificing love?
Take a look at the scriptures below.
“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.” Matthew 5:14
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:” Matthew 28:19
Having said that, do you ever feel like our church… like your church is invisible to the community?
Do you get the impression that we’re failing to accomplish the mission God gave us?
Is the “city in the hill” actually the city being hidden?
If so, who’s hiding it?
Who’s concealing the gifts of spiritual Israel, the church?
Why does it seem like we’re not as successful as the early church?
The reason for their success is simple. They loved God. They loved each other. The world noticed the sincerity of that love.
To be clear, the early church operated as a family.
Watch The Invisible Church and take action in your community.
