Counter-Cultural Living\nPart 1: Pastor Michael Dascoli \n8-30-2020\n\nFirst: the Christian life is a mission trip\n\n"Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, I am sending you."\nJohn 20:21\n\n\tOur Response: \u201cHere am I! Send me.\u201d (ref. Isaiah 6:8)\n\nSecond: Christians live and look different\n\n\u201cDo everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, \u2018children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.\u2019 Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life.\u201d\nPhilippians 2:14-16a\n\n"God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them,\nand as we live in God, our love grows more perfect." 1John 4:16-17\n\n\u201cDo everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless \nand pure, \u201cchildren of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.\u201d \nPhilippians 2:14-15a\n\nThen you will shine among them like stars in the sky \n16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. John 20:15b-16a\n\nOur challenge: Are we living/looking differently? \n\n\u201cDon\u2019t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You\u2019ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what He wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.\u201d Romans 12:2 Msg\n\nThird: Christians live as ambassadors\n\n\u201cSo we are Christ\u2019s ambassadors; God is making His appeal through us. \nWe speak for Christ when we plead, \u2018Come back to God!\u2019\u201d 2Corinthians 5:20 NLT\n\nCall: We are Christ's ambassadors \nVIDEO: in DropBox\n\nLet\u2019s Pray:\n\t-What is God\u2019s Spirit saying to you today?\n\t-How must you respond?
