What if Everyone Mattered?

What if Everyone Mattered?

We would like to think that it would be self evident that Everyone Does Matter, but practically speaking our default is selfish … much like Cain in Gen. 4:3 and the Older Son in Luke 15:11-32.

They both neglected the fact that their brothers Mattered in this world and to the Father. God’s grace marked Cain for all the world to see that he mattered to God. The challenge to the older brother of the Prodigal was to embrace compassion and set aside the idea that relationship with the Father was Exclusive. Relationship with God the Father is Inclusive and available for all of us.

Do you feel Connected these days? Cell phones, Blackberry, iPhones, PC or Macs, Email, Wi-Fi Hot Spots, Facebook & Twitter Cable or Satellite TV, 24 hour news, sports, weather & traffic, Radio, … and the list is getting longer as new technology is being created.

It seems like the driving force of life is all about getting Connected. But are we really Connected? What would it look like if we all were Connected in the same way?

What if Everyone Sacrificed?

Sacrifice is central to relationship. Mother’s know this perhaps better than anyone else. So when we consider that we have been created for relationship with others and most importantly with God himself, we must consider Love.

Love demands sacrifice! Today we will examine the call to love. The first is found in Gen 22 when Abraham is asked to sacrifice his Son, and then in Mark 10:17-31, Jesus asked the Rich Young Ruler to sacrifice his property and wealth. Their Love demanded Sacrifice.

What If … we lived in such a way where everyday we made small sacrifices for someone else?
