The Seven Challenges of the Church: "Remaining Devoted to Jesus"
Manage episode 400632256 series 1356118
February 11, 2024
Lead Pastor Dr. Dan Acker
“Family is the one human institution we have no choice over. We get in simply by being born, and as a result we are involuntarily thrown together with a menagerie of strange and unlike people. Church calls for another step: to voluntarily choose to band together with a strange menagerie because of a common bond in Jesus Christ. I have found that such a community more resembles a family than any other human institution. Henri Nouwen once defined a community as “a place where the person you least want to live with always lives.” -Philipp Yancey Revelation 3:7-13 (NET)
