WHY WE ACT | Pastor Curt Taylor

In this weekend's message on the Greater Things Building Campaign at Cherry Hills Community Church, Pastor Curt Taylor emphasized Jesus' counterintuitive calling for His followers, reminding the congregation that in God's kingdom, "the last will be first, and the first will be last." He explained that Jesus often calls us to live in ways that challenge our natural instincts, put others before ourselves, and trust in His upside-down values. Pastor Curt also stressed that our actions profoundly impact the people around us—sometimes for the better, encouraging and lifting others up, but at other times, our choices can have adverse ripple effects. The campaign, he suggested, is an opportunity to reflect on these truths and contribute to something greater than ourselves.
