More Than Skin Deep

We all have weaknesses. Sometimes those weaknesses can inadvertently hurt other people. One of the challenges of becoming more like Jesus, is the fact that we are slow to grow and often resistant to change which means our weaknesses tend to hang around a lot longer than we want. The question is - how does Jesus want to help us in our weaknesses?

 

If you have been with us in our series Anatomy of a Savior, you know that we have been learning how Jesus behaved towards certain “challenging" people groups. These are the people that are hard to love or show compassion towards. They stretch us in our behavior towards them. And more than our behavior towards these people is the underlying truth of what we believe about them.

 

This Sunday, we’ll look at how Jesus behaved towards those who were unlovable both in stature and appearance with the hopes that He will grow us in an area of weakness.
