A Race for the Bottom

We Are Church, former church - Cornerstone Community Church·We Are Church, former church - Cornerstone Community Church·39:33

In this deeply moving message, Francis Chan recounts his encounter with Christian families in a remote Chinese village who joyfully adopted over 160 children with special needs, embodying a humble, selfless, and radically committed Church. He starkly contrasts this with the consumer-oriented, comfort-seeking tendencies often found in the Western church, challenging believers to reconsider their approach to community and service. Chan argues that God's grace doesn't just forgive but transforms us into givers, reshaping our character to mirror Christ, who emptied Himself and served others. This sermon is a compelling invitation for those seeking a church experience centered on sacrificial love and open lives, inspiring a collective 'race to the bottom' where everyone gives, and the world witnesses the authentic beauty of Christ through His people.
