Teaching to be Outward Focused

This week we are looking at our sixth core value, represented by the letter “T” in the acronym of C-H-R-I-S-T. Christ Church values – “Training our worshipers to be outward focused by planting a new church every three years and giving away 25% of our resources.” You can tell when someone is lost. Perhaps you have been there yourself. Sometimes when we are lost, we look lost and are an inconvenience to others – our head is buried in a map as we hear horns blow. We receive unusual gestures as we slow down to read street signs or pull up the GPS on our phone. As crazy as it sounds, when our instincts or devices fail us, we would rather take a chance on our ‘sense-of-direction’ than ask for directions. And we do that in life. We often pretend to know the answers to life’s questions, when clearly, we don’t. We are lost. When it comes to eternal matters, rather than going with an instinct or sense-of-direction, it is vital that we seek God’s way and find the answers by looking into His Word.
