INTRO: From the E.R. to rehab, to the wellness center …

WHY ARE WE OUTSIDE?
Why is it significant that everyone in this story started outside?

HOW DO WE GET INSIDE?
How is it a miracle that any of us are inside?

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO WORK BESIDE?
If someone comes to Jesus in real faith, what happens to their identity, purpose and relationships?

YOU CAN PRAY WITH US …

1. Worship the LORD for His heart to be related to us as His people! Praise Him, Father, Son and Holy Spirit that He IS an eternal relationship, and that He designed us to live in His likeness – related and in love.
2. How have you lived as if others are not necessary and being on your own is better? Confess your pride and ignorance to Jesus, asking Him to forgive you and that He would repair you from your broken ways.
3. Give thanks to Jesus for His work in bringing back together what we have ripped apart through our sin. Thank Him for reconciling you to God, and to others; for taking out of you your guilt and putting His love in by His Spirit.
4. Who do you know who is selfish and isolated? Pray for them, asking the Lord to help them to see their perilous condition, and that they would discover the miracle and beauty of Jesus’ love.
5. Ask the Holy Spirit to bear in you His fruit of love. Pray that He would help you to live in light of what He has given you – membership in His own family – and that you would reflect that hope and grace to others.
