This week’s message was entitled “Ambassadors of Christ”. From Romans 15:1-7 we heard how we can be ambassadors of grace in the way that we welcome and accept others. In order to better understand this aspect of being a community of grace, consider these questions:
- When are you tempted to evaluate how much someone is like you rather than extending immediate welcome?
- What differences in others make it hard for you to accept them? How can you overcome these kinds of obstacles and extend grace?
- How does Christ’s example help you in evaluating the way that you accept others?
- As you have grown in your understanding of God’s love for you, how has this affected your acceptance of others?
- How can you better love those outside of the church, in your school or workplace, in your neighborhood, and in your family?
Let’s ask in prayer this week, “Who can I accept? Who can I serve? Who can I encourage?” as we grow in being a community of grace.
