God of the Broken Things: Broken People




The Perfecting Church show

Summary: God loves broken things. He makes no apologies for that part of His personality. From Genesis to Revelation we find God visiting, helping, pleading with and giving Himself for the broken. Jesus showed the same tendency toward broken things picking a cast of the "most unlikely to succeed" as His very closest followers. Unfortunately, the fallen world we live in teaches us to do just the opposite. We're taught from a young age to avoid the broken, hide our flaws, and pretend to have it all together. The problem is this approach to life is more flawed than we are. Denying our desperate need for the God of broken things just leads to more brokenness. In the end those who are found in Him and made whole are those who are willing to admit that they are broken.
