Kissing Convenient Christianity Goodbye
Contributed by Don Jaques on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: Following Jesus means being willing to serve and be inconvenienced for the sake of the Gospel.
How many of have ever been a part of a team of any kind (sports, work, music) that has had to lean in and give an extra effort? We know that there is a level of fulfillment that comes from being a part of something great. I’ve got news for you – there is nothing greater in all the earth than the Kingdom of God. God is waiting to empower. He is waiting to give you the thrill of being a part of the greatest team in the world. But it will not come without sacrifice. It will not come without cost – financial, time, personal agendas.
Matt. 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
PRAY
Lord we want to kiss convenient Christianity goodbye. We repent of laziness…and apathy…and of giving you the crumbs of our lives.
We want to change – by the power of your holy spirit. And we are going to do things differently. We are going to serve you first. We’re your slaves. We’ll do what is needed when it is needed. We want to change the spiritual landscape of our community and we are willing to sacrifice to make it happen. For the glory of your name, Lord Jesus. Amen.
