New Wine - Week Eight

The sermon focuses on the importance of Christians actively investing in others through time, effort, and love, not just money, as demonstrated in a video about a young woman, Connor, working with the residents of Butler Homes. It addresses common barriers to such investment, including selfishness, fear, and feeling unworthy, countered by setting one's mind on heavenly things, embracing God's spirit of love and power, and recognizing one's new identity in Christ. The speaker shares personal stories, including a missed opportunity to support a friend and experiences from a Somali market and a basketball ministry, to illustrate the challenges and rewards of investing in others. The message encourages the church to rise up, invest in the world, develop relationships, and embrace the goodness of God to bring others to repentance, emphasizing the need for unity and ministry within homes.
