What Kind of a Church?

What kind of a church does the world need? The world needs a church that loves with grit, determination, and persistence. The world needs a church that keeps on loving even when we're not noticed or thanked. The world needs a church that loves the unlovable. The world needs a church that loves when we don't feel lovable. The world needs a church that loves Democrats and loves Republicans. The world needs a church that loves to serve more than it loves to win. Why? Because, "Love covers a multitude of sins." (1 Peter 4:8).

If you missed yesterday's message, you can listen to it here.

Our series on 1 Peter, "Chosen People - Living as Strangers," continues this weekend with a look at 1 Peter 4:12-19. This sermon is for anyone who has ever felt misunderstood, ridiculed, or left out because you follow Jesus. I look forward to worshipping and learning with you.

Yours for Christ,
