HORIZON (Part 3) • ”Inward vs. Outward” • Barry Bandara

• This Series: The horizon is a beautiful picture from our Creator. They are symbolic for hopes, dreams, and a future. To see a horizon, we must look up, out, and beyond ourselves. The COVID season has caused many to look down, around, or within themselves. As believers at GracePoint, we need to refocus our attention. We need to recast our VISION and lift our eyes and see the HORIZON God has before us.

 

• This Week: As sinners, we are hardwired to have an inward focus. It comes natural to us. However, it requires work and a steadfast effort to have an outward focus on other people. Every church has a gravitational pull towards becoming an inward-focused church. This will eventually cause a church to die. This was never God’s design. It is estimated that 75 percent of churchgoers go to church for the first time because someone invited them.
