What if church were a place where…

…people felt the weight of their own sin more than yours
…the undeserved grace of God was experienced so strongly that you were truly loved despite your failures and flaws
…you could confess your faults and reveal all the is ugly about yourself with brutal honesty without fear of rejection or censure
…others celebrate the new creation God is still forming in you
…you were forgiven without hesitation because of your value in Christ
…living unreconciled was not even a thought because of the love of Christ
…others volunteered to help bear your burdens
…people gladly gave their time, their money, their ears (to listen not to fix), their whole lives to serve each other
…true community – genuine relationship were the norm, not the exception
… unbelievers and believers, “bad sinners” and sinning saints were equally received and grace was given without measurement

It begins with you – giving based on what Christ has given you rather than on what the other person deserves.

A real passion for each other and Christ stems from experiencing God’s genuine passion for us.
