Radical Christianity

1 – A RADICAL RESPONSE TO GOD'S LOVE
'...In view of God's mercy...' – Romans 12:1 NIVUK
Mercyis not getting what we deserve
Graceis getting what we don’t deserve
Graceis getting what we don’t deserve
‘If Jesus Christ be God, and he died for me, what sacrifice could be too great for me to make for him?’ – C.T Studd British Missionary, and Cricketer
It's continual:'living sacrifice'
It's total:'your bodies'
It's voluntary:'offer'
2 – A RADICAL COMMITMENT TO GOD'S PATTERN
‘The early Christians got a reputation for believing in all sorts of ridiculous things such as humility, chastity and resurrection, standing up for the poor and giving slaves equal status with the free. And for valuing women more highly than anyone else had ever done. People thought them crazy, but they stuck to their counter-cultural gospel. If the Church had allowed prime ministers to tell them what the ‘programme’ was, it would have sunk without trace in fifty years’.
