SERMON
Galatians 3:26-29

You Belong Here
-You don't have to earn your invitation.
-Your name is already on the place card.
-Jesus makes room where others draw lines

When we Divide the Table, We Shrink the Heart of God
-The table of Christ has no walls, no borders, no passports, no preferred seating

"In Christ Jesus, you are all children of God, by faith."
-In Christ, there is a new family being born

Pistis Means Faith
-When you trust in Christ, you're adopted into a family.

Prevenient Grace
-The grace that reaches for us before we even reach for God.
-Faith isn't us clinging tightly to God, it's us realizing God is already holding tightly to us.
-In Christ, you're already family.

Sacrements
- An outward and physical sign of an inward and spiritual grace
- Baptism

Sanctifying Grace
-The ongoing work of God that helps us become who we were always meant to be

We Don't Just Take Communion, We Become Communion
- Let's keep reminding the world that there's room for you.
