Impact Through The Church (3 of 6)

Psalm 126:1-6
Intro/Attention
We are on a journey together as a church. It's a journey to discover how we can impact others for the sake of the gospel. The title for this emphasis is, Impact: 40 days of eternal significance. We are called to impact others with the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Today, we come to Psalm 126 and I want to talk to you about what it means to have significant impact through the church. God has us here to impact our neighbors and the nations with the gospel. And God's assigned agency to impact the world is the church. We should have eternal impact through the church of Jesus Christ. READ TEXT - PRAY
Church is like a hospital. It's where people who are sick, broken, bruised, beaten, and battered with life because of sin and unrighteousness come for help. It's okay if you are here and don't have all your life together. If you had all your life together, you wouldn't need to be here. However, hospitals do not tolerate sick people hanging around who don't want to get better. No doctor is going to keep fooling with a patient who won't take his medicine or won't accept a needle but wants to occupy a room. What would you think if someone said, ''Look, I know I'm sick. I've decided to stay sick because I just like this hospital. I'm going to put my name on the door to this room and live here for a while''? You would condemn such a person for a misuse of the hospital because a hospital only exists to give life. That is what the church does. Just as people are born and go to a hospital to get equipped to live, you are born again to come into the church.*
Today, we're going to apply some important principles from Psalm 126 to our current context in the local church. What kind of place should the church be if we're going to have the impact that we should?
Church should be a place of joy: 1-3
