One of my favorite authors (Len Sweet) wrote this "The church is trying to get out of what God is trying to get into. We have churches full of people who love Jesus, but don't love what Jesus loves." I would add... don't love who Jesus loves.
My desire for Community of Joy is not to build a church but to love a community so much that they will fall in love with Jesus. Wouldn't it be awesome if we were known for what we stand for or how we love others and not by what we are against or how we put others down. Jesus constantly met people right where they were! And through love... drew them into a connection with him.
May we be known by our love for Jesus and the people he loves!
