New Day, New Way | Til Kingdom Come | Pastor Steve Andres

<p>Jesus came to call sinners, not perfect people! This weekend Pastor Steve continued our series, TIL KINGDOM COME, with a message about the NEW WAY of the kingdom of God.</p><p><br></p><p>Mark 2:21-22</p><p>“No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear results.”</p><p><br></p><p>Jesus’ ministry began with his announcement of the arrival of the kingdom of God. What did his teaching tell us about it?</p><p><br></p><p>1) Its originality.</p><p><br></p><p>The old religious narrative of self-rescue is not new at all. Christianity is original because it not only acknowledges that we are broken, it begins with that fact.</p><p><br></p><p>2) Its exclusivity.</p><p><br></p><p>Being 85% faithful is not faithfulness. The kingdom of God is an all-in proposition. Jesus is either Lord of all, or he isn’t Lord at all.</p><p><br></p><p>3) Its incompatibility.</p><p><br></p><p>This NEW WAY is incompatible with the old. The gift of NEW LIFE through Jesus means learning a NEW WAY of honoring God. </p><p><br></p><p>We are not mistake-makers in need of correction, we are sinners in need of a Savior.</p><p><br></p><p>Sin is not something we can be coached out of, it is something we are rescued from. Thank God today for rescuing us by sending his Son!</p>
