Sharing the Gospel with Our LGBTQ+ Friends
Message Notes
- Every person needs to be treated with dignity, kindness and respect, regardless of what they are attracted to, what they believe, or how they decide to live their lives.
- 54% of LGBTQ people grew up in church.
- 73% of LGBTQ people view churches as unfriendly.
- Often, when Christians consider sharing the good news of Jesus, they think they have only two options:
- 1. Repent or perish.
- 2. Complete approval.
- There is a third option: hospitality. This creates room, time, and space for people to learn about Jesus.
- There is a difference between acceptance and approval.
- We can accept people, even though we disagree.
- We have to strive to create a safe, loving and welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ people so they can feel free to come and learn about Christ.
