An Inclusive Gospel-Centered Community

Preacher:
Passage: Acts 16:11-34

God brought three absolutely different kinds of people together into a new church at Philippi. Lydia was an upper class fashion executive. The slave girl was of the lowest socioeconomic class and was internally in bondage and externally exploited. The jailer was probably a middle class civil servant who was not initially interested in what Paul had to say. The way God reached each of them is totally different! And the way God reaches each of us is totally different, depending on our background, personality, and interest. There is no one way to come to Christ! The gospel is for the religious. The gospel is for the oppressed. The gospel is for the secular. The gospel is for the moral and immoral. The gospel is for all.
