What is your UN??
un sure about raising children?
un committed to marriage?
un stable finances.
your un is an opportunity for god to do something UNBELIEVABLE!
God is going to do unbelievable through the local church.
luke 15 prodigal son
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
Un always precedes the greatness of God
my un: rising kids, balancing chores and family, financial
Heb 11 holy hall of fame
Joshua and Caleb
we have the same "unstoppable giants" that they had. God is big enough and strong enough to overcome.
1. Have unconditional love
we have to show this kind of love to those that are unsure and uncommitted in order to show others the greatness of God.
in these unstable times the church will be flooded with unsure people and we need to be prepared with unconditional love to lead them to Christ and show them the greatness of God.
a. see the opportunity - luke 15:20 - "...his father saw him..."
God sees you - we need to see those in need as well.
BC's opportunity: Internet campus & Satellite campuses
we believe that God will provide the finances and volunteers to do that.
at least $250,000
b. learn to have compassion and run towards unstable people -
when the church is flooded with people in need we have to be compassionate and run towards them.
helping hands - canned food (NO green beans)
our generosity only temporarily fix a problem..but it can lead people to Christ who will change everything.
c. be quick to celebrate peoples return home
we really need to celebrate when someone returns to the lord, immediately. Our job is not to question their sincerity, that is gods job to figure it out. We need to just show unconditional love.
We share the truth and let God change the heart.
The church should not stand with a pointed finger.
God is not "fair". It wasn't fair for Jesus to die for us, he did it b/c of his unconditional love for us.
Turn your heart towards God and he will embrace you and welcome you home.
No matter what we have done in the past, we can always move forward towards God.
Don't be paralyzed by your past, be motivated to your future.
