Exclusion and Embrace - Week 4

Kyle Costello speaks from Matthew 19.

Whether you study people who believe in a God or gods or people who don’t, one thing you
find is that we are always asking some fundamental questions. How do I belong? How do I
qualify for love? What things do I need to do in my life to “get right.” People of Jesus' day were
no different. What’s remarkable about Jesus is the way he engages these questions. He
challenges the questions and seems to assert that we are asking the wrong questions.

This week, in our series that takes a look at ways people exclude and embrace one another, we will
look to the Bible to see how Jesus addresses the fundamental questions that humans ask
about love, belonging, and acceptance.
