Exponential: Alan Hirsch 3

The Missional Magnet
Alan Hirsch
  • In the context of persecution the people distill the message to "Jesus is Lord." (which assumes Savior)
  • If you list the good qualities of the Pharisees, it's us!
  • Jesus was theologically a Pharisee, but it's how you inhabit the doctrine.
  • Ecclesiology is taking over and Jesus becomes a subset of the church.
  • If you ask most people where you go to find Jesus they'd say a church. That's heresy! Jesus is everywhere, not contained by a building.
  • The measure of success is not size, it's multiplication.
  • We are polytheists. In politics, family, economics, career, etc. we don't let Jesus rule very easily. We serve different gods or philosophies in each.
