Cruise Ship Or Lifeboat?

One hundred years ago, the RMS Titanic sank, taking with it 1,517 lives. And though they’re weren’t enough lifeboats for the 2,223 passengers, those 706 people who found their way into a life boat chose not to go back and rescue those freezing to death and drowning in the water.
That event begs the question about who we are as a church. Who is the church for? Is the church supposed to be more like an comfortable cruise ship, or should it be more like a life boat? What’s the REAL purpose of the church? Should the church be for churched people—those who are spiritually well—or should the church be for unchurched people—those who are sick? In today’s study, that’s the question we’re asking. And the answer may surprise you.
