Sermon Notes

The Free Methodist Church’s history teaches vital lessons about true Christian inclusivity and the dangers of church entitlement. Early Methodist churches faced issues with pew rentals creating systems of privilege, highlighting how easily we can develop attitudes of ownership over church aspects. Scripture consistently emphasizes that true honor comes from God, not human arrangements, and Jesus specifically taught about taking the lowest place rather than seeking honor. The call is to practice radical inclusivity, welcoming everyone regardless of background, while maintaining humility and avoiding attitudes of entitlement.
