How Acceptance Changes Everything (Audio)

A message from Pastor Peter Steicke.

The good news, the gospel, is all about acceptance.  This is the message Jesus brings and it’s the reality he lives out.  He embodies the heart of his Father and the security of his identity as a son by accepting those who were deemed unclean, misfits, and outcast.

The good news is that you too are accepted.  You’re included - despite your sin, failings, insecurities, and lack of spiritual disciplines.  You’re loved because God is a loving Father who calls you beloved and relates to you as his daughter, his son.

The good news is, when you live in your identity as an accepted son or daughter of Father God, you become attractive to be around.  You accept others, relate to them, include them, and give them a sense of belonging.

The good news is, people are crying out for this, and it’s as simple as you are living loved, living loving.
