Weird (Pt. 2) - Weird is Better

In today's world, it's normal for people to live their lives overwhelmed, unfulfilled and unhappy. We label this as normal. The truth of the matter is that as followers of Jesus, we are called to live a different way. In our series, Weird, we'll learn the simple truth that if we want what normal people have, then we do what normal people do but if we want what few people have, then we need to do what few people do. Since normal isn’t working, that means we need to get weird!   We discovered how God is calling us to be a God kind of weird last week and we are going to see how weird is a better way to live this week! There is always pressure from our world to conform to the norm. We are pressured to talk, act and dress the same. These pressures show us two reasons that people don’t live out a God kind of weird. The first is an inward pull which is our need to please. The second is an outward pull which is our fear of persecution. However, we have to understand that when we’re weird, we can’t please everyone, but we can please God.
