Life In The Son

June Sermon & Small Group Series

When it comes to Christian life and experience, a lot of folks have understood the gospel (what God has done for us) as the thing that gets us “in,” but the thing that then keeps us in (an incorrect assumption) is our own effort, work, and performance.  We see that the gospel is the footing  for the Christian life, but we often fail to see that it’s also the blocks in the wall that build a powerful and growing Christian life.

Unless we come to see and embrace the fact that the gospel never loses its importance in the practical outworking of the Christian life, we’ll continue to undercut and cheapen the gospel’s impact.  And, really most Christians are not making the choice to replace the Gospel.  It’s not that clear cut.  It’s sneaky because what they try to do is to simply add to it.  This is called Jesus plus theology.  For many of us, it may be Jesus plus my achievements, Jesus plus my training/ability/strengths, Jesus plus self-improvement, Jesus plus tolerance, and the list grows as long as you have time to write!  

It will include whatever we’re holding on to: a desire, a cause, a trend, a pursuit, a routine.  Martin Luther once said, “Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God”—your functional savior.

In June we will be looking at our lives with Jesus with nothing added: What he gives and what he does for us.  Just Jesus.
