Levi Lusko - Fresh Life Church
Home Away From Home
1 Peter 2:1-5, 9-12
In Philippians Paul says our citizenship is in heaven.
Sojourners or pilgrims of the earth.
Home is heaven!
Church is not something you come to, it's built out of you!
We Provide:
1. A place to belong
"We look for lonely people."
Our greatest fear is invisibility.
Does anyone see me?
Ephesians 2:19-20
He's referencing Hosea and how just because they weren't blood he still accepts those children as his own. God said tell the world it's the same with Me.
2. A place to grow up
There are things you have set aside, selfish sins, in order to grow up.
In order to set things aside you have to sit beside.
The people in your life are either immoral or moral support.
3. A place to be a part of something bigger than yourself.
You cannot be a nation by yourself.
There is nothing in the Bible that points to a solitary relationship with Christ.
4. Experience a place to make sense of rejection.
It's a job of idolatry : stone gods
A stone is used as a metaphor for not living, stone cold heart.
5. A place to welcome others
Kyle Dougdale : Genesis 3 onward we started constructing buildings.
