Carl Lentz : Church In the Wild

Luke 4:18-19
Jesus was talking about himself.

Get out of your comfort zone.
You should not be in your safety zone.

Everything I'm doing has purpose behind it.
Don't be sleepwalking through your life.

Warning: the casualty of a growing church in the wild (a church about people), is about personal comfort. It's not about you anyway.

This means war.

You have to be careful what you pray for because you just might get it!

Living with the disease of me. It's suppose to be about the mandate of others.

We need to stay true to the call of God.
The method can change, but the message never should.

Try getting into a habit of doing something that reminds you it's not about you.

2 choices a church in the wild makes ::
1. Chooses the power of God over the process of religion.
Missing the miracle right in front of our face.
Mark 2:1-12
2. Chooses to see what other people have ignored.
There's opportunities in the shadows if we choose to see it.
Verse 3 there were "some men" who helped the paralyzed man to get to the feet of Jesus.
