     | 1,101 views

    Zechariah 8:23 gives a prophecy of people from every nation seeking after God's People to find out about the Lord. This image gives a wonderful picture of what the church needs to be, a hospital for sinners and not a museum for saints.

    You Need a Hospital, Not a Welcome Center Good Morning. This morning, we are looking at the idea of what the church is supposed to be. Is it an organization which shows unconditional affirmation to everyone, now matter what they believe or want to do, or is it a people who, despite our weakness, ...read more

    Why do we do share the good news of Jesus? Using the post-exilic prophet Zechariah, God is going to teach us about evangelism. He’s going to teach us the “why” of evangelism. Why do we do it?
