"When the Church is Arrogant - the call to point to God" (series: A Church Called Broken)


This photo was taken by Stephanie Jager - she came across it in Gautemala. The photo represents the series we're walking through at Emmanuel: A Church Called Broken.

Click here to listen to this sermon entitled, "When the Church is Arrogant - the call to point to God". It's about honouring and respecting people from other religions even while standing strongly within the convictions of your own. God is doing amazing things throughout this world - not just through the church!

Enough

Believing Jesus died for your sins is not enough. Does this statement make you go into cardiac arrest? Is it fair for me to say that if a Christian goes into shock over this statement, it's because their vision is too small? Let's ask the question - enough for what? If the answer is: to go to heaven to be with God after we die - then perhaps believing in Jesus is enough. But God's vision for the church is so much bigger.
