Are you a follower of Jesus? No, I mean are you really a follower of Jesus or are you just a fan of Jesus? Sometimes in life we think we are committed to something, and in fact, we will even tell people that we are committed, sometimes just by our title. That’s a little bit like how Christianity goes for some people. You go to church on Sundays, therefore, to the world you are a Christian. Then you do something that the world thinks is unchristian in nature so you are labeled as a hypocrite. We all are certainly guilty of this from time to time in our lives, but true followers of Jesus live in such a way that even when they make a mistake, they handle it differently than the world would.
It is easy for us to sit on the sidelines and cheer on Jesus when we aren’t in the game fighting with him, but it becomes much harder for us when we jump into the fight. We are not called to sit on the sidelines, but rather, we are called to be in the middle of the fight. The Hebrew writer rebukes his listeners because they have not matured in their faith. They are supposed to be at a point where they are teaching others and bringing people to God, but they are still only ready to be reminded of the things they have already been taught. We must not become like them and fail to grow in our faith. Our faith should be growing daily.
This week, before you make any decisions, or take any action, ask yourself if you are in the game or if you are just sitting on the sidelines. Then make the choice to follow Jesus with everything that you do.
We meet together regularly on Sunday mornings. We would love to have you join us!
We have bible classes for all ages at 10:00 a.m. Following classes, we meet together as a church family at 11:00 a.m. for worship services.
On the first Sunday of the month we enjoy a potluck meal together following worship service.
