The Wall of Invisibility / Uncomfortable: Breaking Walls

But many times when people come into a space for the first time, they feel like they're invisible. Does anybody really notice that I'm here? Not everyone has their pain written on their face. Not everybody shows the things that they're going through when they walk through these doors. And it can be easy to to misjudge what somebody is carrying. Let's read through Luke chapter 19 verses one. [00:04:33] (41 seconds)  #YouAreSeen

He didn't come to destroy, he didn't come to to blow everything up, he didn't come to pierce through the evil, he came to sacrifice himself. That man who walked this earth perfect unlike the rest of us, that man saw people. He saw individuals. He called them by name. He touched the untouchable. And through us, through his church, he still sees people today. [00:26:02] (39 seconds)  #SeenByJesus

People don't always need to have a better bible study or or a better Wednesday night or Tuesday night or we don't always have to have the best worship in the world. We don't always need more and deeper super important information. People need to feel noticed, like like they're not invisible. People need to truly have someone talk to them, to care about the things that are going on in their lives. Something that I struggle with, to remember their name.

For Jesus, the son of man, didn't come to pierce through all the evil. He didn't come to nail it to the cross. He didn't come to beat up all the things that were going wrong in this world. No, he came to seek those who need to know the name of Jesus. He came to save them through giving of his own life. If the church was like that, if the church came to seek and save the lost, [00:13:14] (35 seconds)  #SeekAndSave

Whether we're in a crowd and it's it's going up against what the crowd wants you to do in the story of Zacchaeus or whether it's a one on one situation where you talk to somebody where feels like maybe that's not the right thing according to the world. Know that that is who Jesus is. The person that we model our lives after. [00:25:37] (25 seconds)  #FollowJesusNotTheCrowd

This water that you have, it will make you thirsty again. It will help you in the immediate. And you can always always come back to the same well. You can always always refill and re resource yourself with this water of the earth. What Jesus is offering is the spirit of the living God living inside of you, which is something that's so foreign to every person that's walking the earth at this time.

It's funny because this this time of our lives, this this year, we've got social media, we've got all of the Internet so we can call. You know, when I was growing up, we didn't have cell phones. Most of us growing here, growing up, we didn't have cell phones. Sorry, not everyone. Most of us didn't have cell phones and you had to be back by a certain time. Right? When the lights run the streets come on. Right? [00:01:43] (30 seconds)  #NoPhonesNostalgia

If I was playing volleyball and I was invisible, and I would go to get the ball and somebody else would come over and just take it right from me because they don't know that I'm there, I think that I would feel a little bit of seclusion and loneliness. Being invisible would be fun if you could turn it on and off. But being invisible is something that's hard to be. One of the biggest walls that that new people experience is that so they're surrounded by people, but yet they feel invisible. [00:00:57] (46 seconds)  #SurroundedButAlone
