Being a Risk Taker for God’s Kingdom
AUTHOR: Gabriel Coyle
‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. – Luke 19:26
Take time to reread the scripture passage from Sunday (Luke 19:11-27). Review your notes from the sermon. What is God bringing back to mind from His Word?
As we enter Black History month, listen in as Gabe adds one more nuance we wish we could have shared on Sunday.

If we are not intentional, the Christian message of Jesus’ resurrection may be easily overshadowed or absorbed into the mix of the Easter Bunny, Easter egg hunts, pastel colors, and marshmallow Peeps. But as Christians, the resurrection of Jesus must be front and center in our Easter celebrations.

Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.

Gabe, let’s be real risk takers and speak out as often, as boldly and as passionately about the sanctity of human life and God’s plan for human sexuality as we do racism as problematic as that may be. The godless, progressive culture loves to leverage racism while slaughtering the unborn and promoting every form of sexual perversion forbidden in God’s Word. I will believe we are bold when we speak out regularly about all these things in depth and with equal boldness.
Chip, your passion around those two important issues is evident. We agree they are important. For how we’ve sought to engage in those areas with with a biblical framework, please see our Human Sexuality paper (see link below), which we labored over for quite some time. May God continue to guide us. Simultaneously, we believe Jesus’ Kingdom agenda encompasses a whole host of important issues/causes/practices that the church should holistically engage driven by Jesus’ Gospel of the Kingdom (Luke 8:1). Let’s keep growing together!

I thank God for being partners and a member with a church that is truly concerned and being a part of the solution of those that are Marginalized because of skin color, gender, and even the unborn we must all men and women of God no matter of race color or creed or religious status come together as a People to stand and move into action for those who can’t.
