Jesus : Inclusivity / Exclusivity

Published: Feb. 5, 2023, 10 a.m.

One of the things we value the most in our culture is inclusivity. One of the things we hate the most about Christianity is its claims of exclusivity. Jesus claimed to be the only way to a relationship with the Father. And yet, it's the moral teachings of Jesus that have informed us the most on what it means to be inclusive and accepting of others. His teachings on loving our enemies, turning the other cheek, and not returning evil for evil, but evil for good have revealed to us the path to life. Why then do we reject his exclusive claims? Pastor Jeremiah addresses that cognitive dissonance that exists in our culture in this mornings message.
