Sermon Title: "God's Kingdom Through Unlikely People"
(Matthew 7:21-23)
Sermon Outline:
1. Do you think you could accurately guess who the first
6 early Christians were, who got into heaven?
2. What would the entrance criteria be, that you would use to decide?
3. True or False: Jesus' mother Mary was not the first Christian saved. Not even one of the first 6. Neither was Peter.
4. So, if they weren't the first believers to step into the Kingdom, who were? And why?
5. True or False: The first one into the Kingdom was a hardened murderous criminal, who never walked with Jesus, was never in a temple, never prayed, and lived his life completely unaware of the gospel message.
Could this be true?
