Galatians 2,11-20, Romans 15:7
1. It's REAL - 2 Corinthians 12, 9-11
"There is a beautiful transparency to honest disciples who never wear a false face and do not pretend to be anything but who they are ... . To live by grace means to acknowledge my whole life story, the light side and the dark. In admitting my shadow side I learn who I am and what God's grace means." - Brennan Manning
2. It's RAW
"I have never met the man I could despair of after discerning what lies in me apart from the grace of God." - Oswald Chambers
3. It's RELENTLESSLY INCLUSIVE
"The gospel is one big open invitation to a party intended for all. The dress code is the real you. You don't have to bring a gift as it will be provided for you when you arrive. You come in through gates of God's goodness and then walk through the beautifully welcoming doors of repentance. The theme of the party is love and mercy, and the host of the celebration is Jesus. The gift you receive is God's grace and forgiveness, and you are welcomed to sit at never ending table of fellowship with God your creator. There are reserved seats all around which have been left for your friends, your family, your enemies and complete strangers who you have been encouraged to invite and share to party with. You've been invited to invite, included to include, and loved to show love." - James Murray
