It's Simply The Only Way

SERIES - Simply Gospel: It’s Simply The Only Way   Any time change takes place, there is a natural, and sometimes personal, resistance to it—not only because of the pain of change but also because of the fear. The idea that our self-preservation (or more often our self-interests) will not be met can bring a fair amount of discouragement. We all would like to have an infection inside our bodies cut out, but it’s never a happy thought to realize that we need it done now. The Gospel is truly good news to a lost world. However, we cannot ignore that it is also a personal affront to our living every day. Some will walk away from it, while others will realize that it’s the only way to live.This week’s #WholeLifeTakeAways: What do you think of when you hear the title of this series “Simply Gospel?How has the default human function of I perform, I achieve, I obey therefore I’m accepted infiltrated your life?Why do you think the default is so easy to adopt?How do you feel about the how two worshippers can both be seeking to live God honoring lives one from obligation and one in gratitude for being accepted?Who in your life has offered you unconditional love, acceptance and forgiveness?What do you think about God, before you believed, said, or done anything, reconciling you and all things to himself in Jesus?
