<p>1.  When we reach out without selling out.</p>
<p>2.  When every part of the church’s life is hospitable to people who do not yet grasp the Gospel.</p>
<p>3.  When we move away from a ‘<strong>tribal</strong>’ atmosphere to a ‘<strong>missional</strong>’ atmosphere.</p>
<p>4.  When we respect and talk to people like we do at work.<br />
(Find common ground to build friendships)</p>
<p>5.  When we understand more and more how the Gospel changes everything.</p>
<p><strong>The Gospel Changes Everything </strong>The Gospel changes people from the inside out.  Christ gives us a radically new identity, freeing us from both self-righteousness and self-condemnation.  He liberates us to accept people we once excluded, and to break the bondage of things (even good things) that once drove us. In particular, the gospel makes us welcoming and respectful toward those who do not share our beliefs.  We can deeply love people who reject or are indifferent to Gospel because we understand that it was the goodness of God that led us to repentance.</p>
