CityHeart Church | Pastor AndreaReid

How do we create an environment where people feel welcome?

We’re passionate people. We worship God and we love one another with everything we’ve got.

In our culture, we recognize passion as a necessary ingredient in the pursuit of God’s purpose in our lives.

We’ve got to be all in, committed, dedicated to welcoming others Home.

What do you think of when you think of home?

What are things that keep us from our homes?

What do we have to maintain our home?

What do we have to do to protect our home?

Welcoming others home is welcoming them into the presence of God.

How do you stay in the presence of God?

Why do you choose to be all in for Christ?

Do you know why we have thisgospel message of forgiveness of sins, reconciliation with God and eternity with Him?

So that we have and know the steps to get to Home, the presence of God.

What is the purpose of faith and hope?

In order for us to have the fuel, sustenance we need to get Home, keep us home, in His presence.

What is the purpose of eternity?

So that we can have perpetual, constant, never ending access to HIS PRESENCE.

Why obedience and surrender?

So that we are locked into our position. Surrender, obedience to God positions us to receive while in His presence.

What is the purpose of following the Holy Spirit?

So that we know the path to Home.

We’ve got to be all in, committed, dedicated to welcoming others Home, into the presence of God.
