RISE UP | Week 2 | Matt Morgan | JANUARY 17, 2021

RISE UP, WEEK 2, Matt Morgan, Lead Pastor OF LIFECHURCH360 TALKS ABOUT HOW IN JOHN 17, JESUS PRAYED FOR ALL THOSE WHO WILL BELIEVE TO HAVE UNITY. IN JOHN 13:35 IT TALKS ABOUT HOW PEOPLE WILL KNOW YOU ARE HIS DISCIPLES BY OUR LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER.

THE MISSION OF GOD IS ABOUT ALL PEOPLE, YES, ALL PEOPLE GOD MADE. GOD WANTS A RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL PEOPLE.

YOU WILL BE CHALLENGED WITH QUESTIONS LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO BRING UNITY TO YOUR NEIGHBORS, FAMILY, FRIENDS, THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE LIKE YOU OR ACT LIKE YOU, THOSE WHO LOOK DIFFERENT THAN YOU AND YES EVEN THOSE WHO VOTED DIFFERENTLY THAN YOU DO.

CAN YOU SET ASIDE YOUR DIFFERENCES FOR THE SAKE OF CHRIST?

MATT USES THE ANALOGY OF A HOT AIR BALLOON. THE BASKET OF AN hot AIR BALLOON IS THE MISSION of the church, THE BALLOON, the vision of the church, IS WHAT LIFTS THE MISSION, AND THE ROPES are THE VALUEs OF THE CHURCH.
