The Fine Print of Christianity | Pastor Scott Venable

Описание: We all have a list of people we’ve decided not to love. We don't say it out loud, but we live it. We check the "fine print" of our beliefs to see if we really have to help that person, agree with that neighbor, or forgive that enemy.

In this message, we look at why the most religious people are often the best at justifying indifference, and why Jesus blew up the definition of "neighbor" by making the villain the hero.

Reflection Questions:

• When you are under pressure, what spills out of you?

• Who is the person you are currently trying to justify avoiding?

• Are you asking "Who is my neighbor?" to look for a loophole?
