The Good, The Bad, and the Loving

The Good, The Bad, and the Loving

August 04, 2024 | David Deputy

We have fear—fear of shame, embarrassment, and rejection from others. This fear often keeps us from taking risks and stepping out in faith. But here's the truth: we are called to risk. We are called to be vulnerable and to put ourselves out there for each other and for those who don’t yet know Christ. Just as God took an immense risk by sending Jesus to the cross for our salvation, we are invited to risk for the sake of love and the Gospel. 

Today we return back into our Life of Christ series as we consider this challenge and we ask ourselves: What are we willing to risk for the sake of Jesus Christ and His church? Are we ready to embrace vulnerability and step into the transformative power of sacrificial love?

Series Information

The Life of Christ series harmonizes the gospel accounts of Jesus' life. In The Ministry Years 01, the first year of Jesus' ministry is explored.
