20170625 Part 3 "This Stuff Matters!" Delton Weiser

SERMON NOTES: 

Matthew 5:13-16 13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot….

Giving Tangible Grace to those in vulnerable times is “who we are” as followers of Jesus and it MATTERS!

Matthew 25 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.

 What is Jesus saying in this parable ….. and not saying?

            He is saying what sheep do because they are sheep!

            He is not saying how a sheep becomes a sheep and not a goat!

 What is unique about the fruits of “being a sheep” Jesus points out?

 This stuff matters because LOVE matters!
Romans 12:9-21
