This weeks message highlights the reality that “We are them”!  This is in reference to our understanding that the distressed, discontented, and indebted people that God is sending to the church (body of Christ) represent those of us that are already in church.  Their stories are our stories.  Paul told the Corinthians ” and such were some of you” (1 Corinthians 6:11), but you have been washed.

The first step to receiving the lost is to recognize that we are them, and imparting to them that which Jesus has given us.
