Title: A Jesus Community (Part 2)
Scripture: Luke 6:27-45
Speaker: Bill Gorman, BillG@ChristCommunityKC.org
>> Jesus’ community loves differently. Because Jesus’ community loves even when it’s hardest.
>> Early Christian Distinctiveness:
- multiethnic
- cared for the poor
- positively pro-life
- counter-cultural sexual ethic
- loved their enemies
>> How do Christians love differently?
- prayerfully
“We must pray who we actually are, not who we think we should be…. The way of prayer is not to cover our unlovely emotions so that they will appear respectable, but to expose them so that they can be used enlisted in the work of the kingdom.” - Eugene Peterson, Answering God: The Psalms as Tools for Prayer
>> How do Christians love differently?
- prayerfully
- generously
- mercifully
“It is important to realize that there is some really fatal flaw in you: something which gives the others just that same feeling of despair which their flaws give you.” - C. S. Lewis, “The Trouble with X,” in God in the Dock
