How We Do Life Together

This week we start an eight-week series "How We Do Life Together."

On January 17th, about 20 volunteers gathered at the church to think about life together at Transformation Church. We spent time in worship and prayer, as well as reading scripture together before we brainstormed on values that we thought would be core to us at Transformation Church.

After the brainstorming, I was left with the task of compiling and synthesizing the many ideas into eight statements.

The first one is: We are a welcoming church, for Christ first welcomed us. 

Our text for this is Luke 19:1-10, the story of Zacchaeus.

What lessons do we learn in how we welcome those whom God places in our path?

Might the kindness of God in someone else's life be offensive to you? 

Jesus says he comes to seek and to save the lost. How do we grapple with our own lostness?

The more deeply we understand our own lostness and the grace that God offers the more deeply we will love the lost.
