Many have tried to define C3…what C3 really means.
They’ve tried to tell us what we are and what we are really about.
This morning we told them…loud and clear - lest there be any confusion.
Last month we baptized 16. This month…this morning we baptized 21.
Twenty-one lives changed. Twenty-one new Christ-followers. Twenty-one more who are so C3…
So, if you’re confused or searching for a definition of what C3 means. Hopefully, today will help you in your search.
Define us by what we are passionate about.
There are now 21 more to be reckoned with.
C3 is a movement…a journey of Barbaric Grace. We won’t stop. We won’t quit. Nothing will cause us to back down now.
And this is just the beginning of the story.
So, if this causes you to experience any emotion except sheer and utter joy, well…
Fair Warning.
Singing “Lead Me to the Cross” was a spiritual experience for me, tonight. I was struck by the second verse. It moved me.
“You were, as I, tempted and tried - Human.
The Word became flesh - bore my sin in death.
Now You’re risen.
Everything I once held dear - I count it all as loss…Lead me to the cross.” (Hillsong United)
Barbaric Grace may sound like an oxymoron. But, Jesus embodied the fulfillment of perfect and total grace…uncivilized, unstoppable, and limitless grace.
I live as a testimony of a…the barbaric grace of a Savior who would let nothing stand in His way to redeem me…to buy me back. He became uncivilized to reach me where I was - to be my ransom.
Barbaric Grace - I embrace it…I desire to live it.
Because it saved my life, and now it leads me back to the place where it all began…the cross.
“Lord, I lay me down - Lead me to the cross.”
Peace.
