Witness: The Other Side

A fishing expedition comes up empty until the stranger calls from onshore, proposing that they think differently. As a people called to cultivate communities of care and belonging, are we “casting our net to the other side,” or sticking with what we think we know? (Sermon begins at 1:00)Scripture & QuotationsJohn 21:1-14Matthew 6:5-6John 20:30-31“…To enter is to enter into life, for those who enter find at last what it is to be loved and to be filled with love — not with sentiment, but love — for all people, regardless of whether they too are members of God’s family or not. Love, like other attitudes and virtues, cannot be taught. It can only be caught. You can teach people that they ought to love, but not to love.”Dallas Willard - The Allure of Gentleness: Defending the Faith in the Manner of Jesus
