Welcome back to another episode of the 'Post Sermon Reflections Podcast'. We continue our exploration of the core values shaping our church with guidance from Pastor Brennan. This week's focus is on the crucial role of putting values into action, rather than merely using them as verbal garnish. If you are just joining us, be sure to catch up on previous episodes for a better grasp of the salient values driving our faith journey.
The 'show and tell' principle forms the crux of this episode. Revered by many, including Pastor Brennan, this principle highlights the necessity of visibly embodying and communicating Jesus Christ's love in our ministry - a balance between grace and truth. Drawing from John 1, verse 14, we explore how the combination of His kindness and enlightening truth impels us to mirror His love through actions and convey the life-changing truth of His salvation.
This episode promises a thoughtful exploration of the 'show and tell' method juxtaposed with the traditional 'come and see' approach. Engage with us as we ponder over the immense impact of this value on our personal dealings and community outreach, topped with an unexpected demonstration of generosity that's sure to astound you.
Tune in as the episode recounts a heartwarming incident, wherein a local church showed up unannounced at a QuickCheck in 2021, offering to pay for customers' gas. Their intention was to manifest Jesus' love, promising an exciting twist in the episode. The act opened doors for discipleship conversations, shifting community perception about churches and their potential capabilities.
End your podcast session musing over the delicate balance between showing and telling God’s love. The episode emphasizes the values of patience, resilience, and authenticity, especially amidst potential rejections. It serves as a call to churches to rethink their evangelism approach, fostering a culture of joyous generosity and leading with grace, followed by truth - even when the gospel offends.
