How far would you go?

This past Sunday I was retelling the story of Paul and Timothy in Acts 16. Here Paul asks Timothy a young man, to get circumcised in deference to the Jewish people they were looking to reach.
I wanted to have a tattoo artist come and give me a tattoo while I was preaching the message and when I could not get that done, (regulations) I wanted to show a video of someone getting a tattoo. That did not happen either. (Technical difficulties)

The question was how far would You go to extend the Kingdom? Getting a tattoo was not a new idea for me. I came very close a few years ago while speaking on 1 Cor 9, 'I have become all things to all people..."
We all have opportunity to stretch to reach people. For some the idea that I would get a tattoo was way over the top. For others it may be going into a bar or a club. I believe that with the freedom we have been given comes great responsibility.

How far are you willing to go to free others? Why would God free you first?
