Why start another Church in Fresno? There are maybe 1,000’s of Churches here in Fresno. I don’t actually know. So why do I think we need at least one more? I love the Churches of Fresno! I think most are probably really good and meeting a lot a lot of needs in the community. That’s awesome! I hope they keep it up and expand! Yet in my understanding there’s not many, and there may be many I just don’t know about them, that go out and preach the Gospel or the Good news to those people out in our City that haven’t heard the Gospel. I’ve been gone working out of town for a few years so maybe things have changed. But three years ago when the Church that I was working with came to an “end” we were the only ones out there. In the Night Clubs, in the Bars, Strip Clubs, speaking to the Hookers and Drug Abusers. The only one reaching out and building Communities for the Tran Sexual Community. We had Weed Churches. Before it was all popular, before Homosexuality was “accepted” in the Church like it is more so nowadays but still not really. There are zero churches, to my Knowledge, going out among the people who don’t typically go to them at their church gatherings to preach the Good News. Let me continue to clarify by saying that the “Good News” I speak about isn’t telling people they are going to Hell if they don’t repent from their sins. I see that guy on the corner from time to time. Or the churches that come through one Sunday or Sat afternoon and pass out sandwiches and walk away feeling good about serving the homeless. Feeding the homeless is good, really good, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that that’s bad, or not important. I’m just clarifying why I believe we need at least one Church to... Go into the Darkest places in our City and Shine Brightly! To reach out and not care about our reputation and love on the Outcasts. To be among the people in their places of gathering in their homes not just inviting them to our churches where they aren’t going to fit in many times or at least not right away. Lastly I don’t know of One Church that has a atmosphere of Awe in their Worship Services where people are more excited about staying afterwards for more prayer and worship than hurrying to eat to the local Resturant before the churchgoers crowd gets there... A place where people can Encounter the LIVING GOD! This is The Fresno Church of Love! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/churchoflove/support
