November 9, 1989 marked a major event in human history--the fall of the Berlin Wall. Ronald Reagan said what many had been saying for years: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
Sunday Monte showed our Cold War tendencies with church, demanding that we tear down our walls. "Unchurched" people in America have some HUGE walls to get over before they are ever going to think about Christianity.
imageWe Christians have a terrible image problem: making government all about homosexuality and abortion, making Christianity too boring, too irrelevant to the real world, etc.
cultureChristians are from a different world. How is the Christian culture supposed to interact with the rest of the world.

commitmentThis isn't about a cool church with two Jesus paintings in the gym. It is about an authentic relationship with God and the community of believers.
Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.”
(Colossians 4:2-6)
What does it look like to break down these walls?
