Gospel Risk wk4

Relationship with God

We have been talking about how God has placed The Heights at a crossroads in the middle of a growing community. This gives us an incredible opportunity to share the message of the gospel. We have stated our mission like this: “Taking personal risks to bring the gospel to every relationship.” The gospel message should be a growing part of all of our relationships - our relationship with God, with those who know Christ, and with the world around us that needs Christ. But how do we measure our progress? How do we know if we are successfully bringing the gospel to our relationships? Let’s start with our relationship with God. In a letter to his friend Philemon, the apostle Paul tells us that bringing the gospel to our relationship with God means that we know our identity ... we embrace our community ... and we are empowered by grace.
