Becoming A Community of Grace

In follow up to a few posts ago. Tim Chester offers advice on becoming a community of grace.

1. Make connections
2. Welcome the mess
3. Stop pretending
4. Stop performing
5. Eat and drink with broken people
6. Give people time to change
7. Focus on the heart

Which one hit home most for you? Mine was number 5. Especially in light of our upcoming Marcum Terrace Christmas Party. I’ve got to watch my spirit and the attitude with which I serve others. Crew isn’t helping poor black kids have a great party. Boy aren’t we great?! No! These are neighbors in my city that God has given me to be friends with. They will be helping me experience grace, face my own idols, and come face to face with my pride, waste, and arrogance.
