Welcome Sinners

The church is a gathered group of disciples that live life together, and as a result, we often end up with more in common with other believers than anyone else. Can there be a downside to this? Yes! And a huge problem exists if we become a group of disciples complaining about spending time with “tax collectors and sinners.” Welcoming sinners is the work of Jesus, the example of Jesus, the church's ministry, and that of every disciple of Christ.

Series Information

Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
