Coming Home: Philippians 1.12-26

 In every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached;

and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice. Philippians 1.18

Five categories of people in relation to the church...

• The Un-churched.

These are people who have made a decision to leave the church.

• The Non-churched.

Church is a non-issue in their lives.

• The De- Churched.

Those who have left the church because of someone else.

• The Churched.

These are the followers of Jesus who are in the church.

• The Re-churched.

Those who have come back, are coming back, or need to come back.

Take Away Point-
Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them.
Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country

and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? Luke 10.4
