Bayou City Fellowship - Curtis Jones

We live in a divided world where it’s easy to label people and keep our distance. But Jesus does the opposite. In Luke 5, He sits down with the very people others rejected and shows us a better way. This message challenges us to stop seeing labels and start seeing people, to live with both truth and love, and to step across the lines we’ve been avoiding. Following Jesus isn’t complicated, but it will cost us something.- See individuals, not labels. Stop reducing people to groups and start seeing them as image-bearers of God.- Practice holiness with love. Truth without love isn’t Christlike, and love without truth isn’t real love.- Cross boundaries intentionally. Build relationships, pursue people, and live on mission where you already are.Key Scriptures:Luke 5:27–39John 3:16–17James 3:9–10Following Jesus means more than agreeing with Him, it means living like Him. This week, take one step toward someone you might normally avoid. Build a bridge, start a conversation, and reflect the love and truth of Christ. I
