Church @ Chain Reaction Week 2

 

There are over 6 billion people in the world according to the U.S. Census Bureau. This number grows exponentially every day. In the face of this growing population, a group of people rise, focused on bringing change and the love of God to all who need it.

This past Sunday, the contemporary-styled City Church had its second meeting in its new Anaheim venue, Chain Reaction. During the service, Lead Pastor Kyle Steven Bonenberger gave his message --- one centered on the idea of loving people. Among watchful eyes of new faces, and knowing nods of those in regular attendance, Kyle explained that the world is watching how we love people inside the church and also outside it, in our world.

Kyle told our church that the world pays attention to both the good and the bad of Christians. In the good, people watch as we love each other with no strings attached, but in the bad, the world watches when we, as Christians, drop the ball and disappoint. Kyle says that the "real purpose of loving people is growth." He cites Proverb 27:17, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."

So the Pastor, encompassed by the soft yellow lights from the stage, challenges his audience to not be daunted by the 6 billion people in the world because the good news is that it only takes one person to change a community. With hands raised, motioning to his surroundings, Pastor Kyle Steven says, "walk out of your door, you have a ministry."
