"Rescued to Rescue" | 2 Corinthians 5:13-21 | Tim Parlier

In this message, we explore how the gospel transforms us from those being saved into active agents of God's rescue mission. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5, the sermon emphasizes that we are compelled by Christ’s love to no longer live for ourselves, but as "Christ Ambassadors" entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation. Just as Jesus sought out the lost, we are called to be available vessels, sent into our neighborhoods and workplaces to share the hope of the gospel and lead others back to Him.


FOR GROUP DISCUSSION & REFLECTION:

1. What’s 1 thing you learned about the character of God through these scriptures?
 
2. The sermon described Jesus as the One who rescued us when we were spiritually stranded. What has "being stranded" looked like in your own life? How did Jesus rescue you?

3. What fears or assumptions most often keep you from talking about Jesus with others more freely? How might 2 Cor 5:13-21 help you face those fears? 

4. Who is your one?  Who is God placing on your heart right now He wants to move through you to love and bless and guide towards Him? 

5. What is one practical step you could take this week to begin (or continue) pointing them toward Christ? (Through both genuine love and the message of reconciliation.)
