A Renewed Heart – From Tradition to Relevant : Acts 17:16-28

Compassion is the key. If we are to break free of past traditions within the church and present Christ to people in a relevant way, it will depend entirely how we think of those that don’t have a relationship with God. Unless we care more for people than tradition, we’ll never support change. If Jesus looked out into a large crowd of people, he wouldn’t be thinking of why they don’t go to church or how he might teach them a lesson. No, Jesus in fact, would have a very heavy heart. Jesus would be greatly distressed by the lack of real purpose in many of those lives. Do we share His pain ?
