God did not give us a small commission, but a great commission, to go into all the world and preach the good news of Christ's love and grace.

If you think the church is too big, your love for people is too small.

Hear me clearly. We will do anything short of sin to reach people who don't know Christ.

To reach people no one is reaching, we will do things no one is doing.

I am glad to have all of you here with us today and I would love it at all of our life churches would you join me

in welcoming the 22nd Life Church.tv location.

Starting brand new today in South Broken Arrow we are thrilled to have you guys already going from three services expanding to four.

Next we can just to contain all the brand new people.

For those of you who are new what we've been doing is we've been looking through some of the values at our church.

Let me refresh you week number one we talked about faith.

We are faith filled big thinking. Bet the farm risk takers.

We will never insult God with small thinking or safe living.

Week two we talked about serving.

We are not spiritual consumers.

We are spiritual contributors because the church does not exist for us,

but we are the church and we exist for the world.

Week three we talked about generosity.

We will lead the way with irrational generosity because we truly believe it is more blessed to give than to receive.

Today I want to talk to you about the value that is very dear to my heart.

I want to talk to you about the value of reaching people who are far from God.

And we are going to be in Mark's Gospel today, Mark chapter two.

We are going to start at the end of the chapter and then I want to go back to the beginning of the chapter.
