· If you serve a homeless man a meal, he’s going to ask
why you did it.
· If you explain that your love of God makes it so that
you can’t help but love others, he’s going to ask what’s so loveable about him.
· If you sit down and begin a conversation to get to
know him better, he’s going to think you’re his friend.
· If he considers you his friend, he might want to go to
your church.
· If he goes to your church, he might bring his cup of
coffee into the sanctuary.
· If he brings a cup of coffee into the sanctuary,
everyone will think they can bring coffee to worship.
· If everyone thinks they can bring coffee to worship,
it’s going to feel more relaxed.
· If it feels more relaxed, then people might actually
get to know each other better.
· If people get to know each other better, they might
realize each other’s hopes and struggles.
· If we get to know each other’s hopes and struggles, we
might actually become a community.
· If we become a community, others might want to join
the community.
· If others want to join the community, we might outgrow
our building.
· If we outgrow our building, we might need to move
Church outside the walls.
· If we move Church outside the walls, we might meet more
homeless people.
· If we meet more homeless people, we might serve more
meals…
And we know where THAT could
lead!
It could lead to actually BEING the Church.
It could lead to actually BEING the Church.
Wow!
Wouldn’t that be great?
