What are 2 legitimate topics for religion?

12/29/2024 morning worship service Pastor Anthony Fields " "Always Beginning Again" Corinthians 5:17-20,31 "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." ▪︎ A NEW CREATION 17) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" Where change starts: It is important to say that most of the changes that make us a new creation, the ones that really matter, are on God's side. Nothing between: Nothing between my soul and the Saviour, Naught of this world's delusive dream; Nothing preventing the least of His favor, Keep the way clear! Let nothing between, John 8:1-12 ▪︎ THE MOTIVATION Paul wrote, "For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died." (vs 14) ▪︎ THE RESPONSE "We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God." (vs 20) ▪︎. NO MAGIC 1 Corinthians 15:31 Paul writes .."I Die everyday' Today was yesterday's tomorrow. Tomorrow is a new today that can start again as a new creation!" ________________________ "Lord, what you call compassion, others call weakness. What you call conviction others call dissidence . What you call love, others call mixing with sinners. We pray that we too might be found weak, dissident, and in bad company, especially if it means we are closer to you. Amen." _________________________ " "Think on This: Godly Love" 1 John 4:19 Unconditional: God's love is enduring and does not give up on us, even when we fall short of His standards. Immense: God's love is so vast that it is incomprehensible to humans. Perfect: God's love is perfect, without the flaws and failings of human love. Holy: God's love is holy, just as God is holy. Faithful: God's love is faithful, even when we are not. Merciful and gracious: God's love is full of mercy and grace. Forgiving: God's love is forgiving and full of grace. Refining: God's love is refining, not indulgent. Patient: God's love is patient, kind, and does not delight in evil. Christians believe that showing God's love to others is important because they want others to eperience the same uncondilional love that they have experienced." ______________________ "Jesus came to serve" John 13:1-17 Jesus washed smelly, dirty, calloused feet with His own holy hands. Jesus said, tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him." The 11 men in that room turned the world upside down by laying it all down and becoming servants of all. What are we waiting on? • How would it have felt to be in that room with the disciples? • Does serving others come easily to. you? Why or why not? • Whats one way you can serve someone today?"
