Our New Heart • Amanda Emberley • Ascension Online

Описание: Catch up with the talk from this week's Sunday service.
Today Amanda talks about how the church's mission is to actively share Jesus' message of salvation by overcoming barriers and fostering inclusivity.

1. 00:00 ⛪ The church is a paradoxical community and mission, dedicated to sharing the message of Jesus' salvation globally.

2. 02:27 ❤ Everyone is called to actively participate in spreading God's love through everyday interactions.

3. 05:55 ☕ Early followers shared the gospel joyfully in community settings, emphasising love for neighbours while facing personal and cultural challenges.

4. 10:03 🌍 The church's mission is to embrace and reach out to marginalised communities, challenging racial and personal barriers as exemplified by Jesus' interactions with the Samaritans.

5. 12:43 🌍 Overcoming barriers to connect with diverse individuals is essential for fostering inclusivity in the church, as seen in the early church's expansion into Samaria through the Holy Spirit.

6. 15:46 🌍 The church's mission involves transcending barriers through the Holy Spirit and contextualising Christianity to engage contemporary spiritual needs, as illustrated by Simon the sorcerer's transformation upon witnessing God's true power.

7. 19:42 ⚡ Syncretism dilutes Christian faith, and true repentance demands surrender to God, not the pursuit of spiritual power.

8. 22:52 💖 Surrendering control to God and embracing true faith through the Holy Spirit leads to genuine transformation and unity in the church.
