Isn’t Christianity too Exclusive | Asking For A Friend | Week 1

In this sermon, Pastor Jason Smith explores the claim that while Christianity is exclusive about the solution, it is radically inclusive in its invitation. The gospel does not exclude people—it excludes pride, self-sufficiency, and the belief that we can save ourselves. Through Scripture and Jesus’ parables, we’re reminded that salvation is not earned by morality, status, or effort, but received by grace alone. Jesus offers Himself as the one true way to God so that anyone, from any background, can come and be welcomed. This teaching invites us to lay down self-reliance and respond humbly to God’s open invitation at the start of a new year.
