· 7 viewsCOMPELLING - Being the church people need. We’ve all got our own picture of what church looks like. For some, it may include pews and old hymns. For others, it could be in a coffee shop on a Sunday night with worship music and a speaker. But what if we told you that church wasn’t a meeting place or an environment? The church is a place where you feel like you belong. Where you find a community of people who will support and accept you throughout your life. A place so compelling that there is no choice but to experience the love of God and share it with others.

(We) Review/Background
(God)
42 So Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. 43 But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Mark 10:42
14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

Four Compelling Contributions
Grow Intentionally
5 In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.
8 The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2. Serve Passionately
10 God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.
3. Give Generously
3 For I can testify that they gave not only what they could afford, but far more. And they did it of their own free will. 4 They begged us again and again for the privilege of sharing in the gift for the believers in Jerusalem. 5 They even did more than we had hoped, for their first action was to give themselves to the Lord and to us, just as God wanted them to do.
4. Invest & Invite Courageously
14 “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. 15 No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
