The Cost of Comfortable Christianity // Advent 2024 [Sermon Only]

This morning, Pastor Mike preached on Luke 12:7-24 on the importance of genuine inclusivity and hospitality in Christian faith. His main message emphasizes that God's love extends to all people, regardless of their religious background or way of worship, and that Christians are called to be intentional ambassadors of Christ's reconciliation, moving beyond mere church attendance to active discipleship. He challenges us, the congregation, to examine our own excuses and assumptions that prevent them from fully engaging in God's mission of hospitality and generosity. He stresses that Christianity is meant to be lived in community, not in isolation, and that we have a responsibility to actively reach out to others, particularly those different from themselves. The sermon concludes by addressing our church's identified weaknesses in evangelism and service, calling for more intentional engagement with their broader community to share God's message of love and acceptance.
