Today, Matt taught the Sunday School Lesson. We discussed how tough economic times cause many churches (and people) to have to make tough decisions about "looking outward or inward." We have to preserve the church itself in order for it to continue to have the opportunity to look outwardly and help in the community. However, it is very important for us to continue to seek ways to engage in mission opportunities, especially in a time when people need help the most.
We also discussed the Christian Life as a spectrum. On one side, we look inward as Christians promised with eternal life. On the other hand, we look outward working in the world to love those around us and build the Kingdom of God. We will continue discussing seeking balance to this next week.
