March 28th - All Things to All People

“All Things to All People”

Palm Sunday – Triumphal Entry

SG2: Evangelism – Missional

Did you know that you are free?

19 Though I am free and belong to no one,

Galatians 5:1  It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.

John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

“…I give myself to you”

I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.

Incarnational Adaptability

20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law …. 21 To those not having the law …. 22 To the weak…

Jesus’ Incarnational Purpose

John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Jesus’ people

15 While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Our people:

neighbours

classmates

co-workers

To the liberal I became a liberal, to the conservative I became a conservative

Chameleon or Infiltrator?

I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.

Salt and Light

23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
