Big Idea: We will do anything short of sin to connect people to God and each other.

Jesus eats with/talks to sinners, disreputable people, women, tax collectors.
We are unashamedly egalitarian in theological belief and practice.

God wants us to seek Him out and feel our way towards him.

We will do what it takes to create opportunities for people to experience His love and grace - even if it makes other Christians uncomfortable.

Paul is unafraid to hear opposing points of view.

Paul, like Jesus, is unafraid to associate with people that do not think like him.

Takeaway: Be careful - temptation is a dangerous place to dwell. Lean into the gray areas, but stay grounded in Christ.
