Have you ever felt like an outsider at church? This prophetic sermon questions subtle biases that marginalize certain groups from fully belonging in many faith communities. Despite aims of radical welcome, we at times excel more at insider circles than solidarity with outcasts. 😳

Yet Jesus himself embraced villainized and outcast groups - the sick, sinful, and even the mentally ill. What if the church followed his model? This message offers practical steps so no one is defined solely by illness or grief.

Join in envisioning Spirit-led communities where marginalized individuals help transform assumptions and are drawn in from the margins through radical love. Time to get real about community in the kingdom of God. 🙌
