A Leap of Faith to Love those that seem unlovable
We are continuing our series on taking a leap of faith in our lives. I believe that God is calling us to take a leap of faith to love those that seem unlovable. In order to take this leap we must know the love of our savior. It is only with his grace, love, and compassion that we will be able to love those that seem unlovable. We are all lost without Christ. God is Holy, Righteous ,and perfect. We are sinners that make mistakes all the time. Jesus died for us on the cross because we were not perfect. God loves those that seem unlovable shouldn't we?

Are You Chosen to Follow Jesus?
What was the real issue in this story? It was about being chosen by God. The Hebrews were chosen from all the nations of the world to be God's special people. Similarly, the NT teaches us that all followers of Jesus Christ, both Jews and Gentiles, are chosen by God to be His special people in these last days of time. Instead of choosing only one ethnic group to save, God chooses people from all ethnic groups. God chooses Jews and Gentiles from all over the world to be His chosen people. These people are chosen to follow the Messiah. Again, they are not chosen because they are intrinsically better than anybody else. In fact, they are sinners like everybody else. Instead, they are chosen on the same basis that God chose Abraham; they are chosen because of their trusting, obedient faith in God. They believe God's word and they accept God's Messiah--God's own Son, Jesus--as their personal Savior and Lord. I will briefly explain three implications of being one of God's chosen people.

A Definition of “the Gospel”: “… the embracing category that holds much of the Bible together, and takes Christians from lostness and alienation from God all the way through conversion and discipleship to the consummation, to resurrection bodies, and to the new heaven & the new earth.” —D.A. Carson. ENCOUNTERING AND PROCLAIMING THE RESURRECTED CHRIST: --> Thru God’s Sovereign Plan and the Spirit’s Power (vs13-16, 25, 30-35). --> By Meeting People on their Turf and Engaging Conversations (vs15-31).
