Christy Johnson - I Love My Church - Get Up

The church is many things. It is a body. It is an army. It is a group of individuals coming together in one accord for the glory of God. In this message, Pastor Christy Johnson, the First Lady of Fearless, shares a special Mother's Day message on the church being a hospital.

When Jesus was on Earth, He made a profound statement to the religious leaders of his age. He proclaimed that He "didn't not come for those who think they're righteous, but for those who know they're sinners." He said that "it is not the healthy who need a hospital, but the sick." We live in a broken, sick world and Jesus came to call not the righteous but the sick.

He wants to make you whole! He wants to heal the wounds and traumas of the past. He wants to bring you to the hospital we call "church" so he can patch you up! But your healing also has purpose; not only does Jesus want to heal you for YOUR sake but for OTHERS as well. You are not meant to stay broken in your hospital bed, but rise in the healing Jesus gave you so you may help others who are in the same hospital bed you once sat in. We are the church: a hospital for the broken!
