D.T.R. Define The Relationship. Fan or Follower?

Starts, Sunday, June 22nd @ 10:00 am

Lots of people identify as Christians about one-third of the world, in fact. But calling ourselves Christians and actually following Jesus can be two different things. Without even realizing it, we can slip into a faith that’s more about appearances than about a life-changing relationship with Christ.


This series will challenge you to confront how you may be practicing a compromised version of Christianity: one in which comfort, convenience, or cultural norms overshadow true faith, obedience, and transformation.


Each week, we’ll tackle a different way this can show up in our lives and explore what it looks like to move from shallow faith to a deeper, more committed relationship with Jesus.

Week 1. The Trap of Comfortable Christianity - June 22nd

Lukewarm Christian - having a half-hearted faith; wearing the label of Christianity without truly following Jesus.

5 Signs You Might Be Lukewarm

 

·    You crave acceptance from people more than acceptance from God.

·    You rationalize sin.

·    You rarely share your faith in Christ.

·    You only turn to God when you need something.

·    You’re not much different from the world.


‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have no need of anything,” and you do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked, I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to apply to your eyes so that you may see. Those whom I love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me." Revelation 3:15-20
