Have you ever felt like you are on the outside? Not good enough? Don’t quite fit in? Not as good as the next person? This powerful series is all about grace for those who feel on the outside. God’s plan has always been that no one would feel like that but instead be loved in a family of grace. Based on the story of Ruth, Outsiders shows us that no matter what we may think, God is working in our lives to bring us into a place where we are fully loved by Him, safe and secure, prospered and blessed.
Part 1 - The outsiders
Have you ever felt like an outsider? On the edge, not as good as.... Grace is for you. God is the God of the outsider. As we grow in grace we realise that a big part of growing up and maturing is when we see people who need grace and then know that we are the channel for it. It's not just grace for me but also grace for them. Be encouraged from the story of Ruth that grace brings you in.
Part 2 - Jesus loves the outsider
Do you think that God's goodness is not enough? Boaz is a fantastic picture of Jesus & how he loves you and the people in your world. What does that look like? Why would anyone who does not know Jesus care? How does He impact what really matter to them? Listen and be encouraged - whatever you have received through grace, there is more than enough for the real lives of everyone else
PArt 3 - From outside to fully joined
In the last part of this story we look at how Jesus takes people who are on the outside and brings them to a place where all that is His becomes theirs. This is not just for a few - It is what He wants for all - protection, security, rest & provision. When God starts something in your life He brings it through to that place - from grace to grace. Have faith for whoever is in your world that Jesus wants to bring them from being on the outside to fully joined with Him.
