"The Rest Of The Sermon"

Yesterday morning during first service I was unable to finish the outline, so I quit in the same place second service. BUT because of the wonderful technology of computers I want to finish the sermon (minus illustrations ) so here we go…

Are you in Jesus? Are you remaining in Jesus?

Why is that decision important for you… and for the rest of the church… and ultimately the rest of the world?

That Choice will result in a transformed heart,
which results in a transformed life
with transformed behaviors
which results in spiritual fruit
that has seed to plant in others
which results in kingdom expansion!

Why? Because we have been commissioned to make disciples not churches, churches don’t build disciples, programs don’t build disciples.

Because fruit bearing disciples build fruit bearing disciples.

The current definition at Eastridge of spiritual maturity is too short sighted. Spiritual maturity as we know it is too self focused. The question is not am I becoming more like Christ? The question is am I becoming more like Christ and am I helping others to do the same. That is Spiritual Maturity…when we disciple someone else in their walk with our Lord.

But it begins by choosing to remain in Him.

Let’s be better...stronger ...faster

Are you Hungry to know Jesus? Are you tired of filling up on the world?

Find freedom in Jesus through repentance and then experience redemption.

Find life...REAL life by choosing to remain in Him.

And that is the rest of the sermon.
