Crucial Conversations: Compassionate & Convicted Conversations || Rev. Michael Hands

Join Rev. Michael Hands as he explores the theme of "Compassionate and Convicted Conversations." In this sermon, we will discover the importance of high-stakes conversations in fulfilling our mission as the church. Jesus exemplified the balance between compassion and truth, proving that they are not enemies but allies in meaningful dialogue.Focusing on John 4, we will see how Jesus established a precedent for crucial conversations regarding our intimate sexual and relational ethics. He modeled engaging these topics with firm conviction while employing compassionate and strategic communication. Ultimately, the goal of these conversations is to foster trust in His Lordship.This sermon addresses vital questions such as why the church needs to have a voice on relationships and sexuality, how to engage those with differing views in a manner reflective of Jesus, and how to respond to cultural moments in a way that highlights the sufficiency of Christ.We pray this message encourages you as we apprentice to become more like Jesus.––––––––––––––We’d love to hear from [email protected]/newlifegoldcoastwww.instagram.com/@newlifegoldcoast ★ Support this podcast ★
