- Jesus shows us that being a member of His Church is a commitment.
- Remember, it’s “go time”. Don’t treat someone like an enemy just because they’re different. Instead, treat them like a committed brother or sister, even if they might need some help or training.
- If we are doing anything which excludes people from committing themselves to Jesus and His cause, then we are in serious trouble.
- People who are “little ones” in the faith can easily fall away.
- What are these things which can cause people to lose their faith?
- Hypocrisy
- Silly arguments
- Lack of love
- Big egos
- Drama
- Cliques
- The source of our sin isn’t our hands, feet or eyes. It’s our sinful nature which infects everything we do.
- The only cure for our sin is to repent, be forgiven, commit ourselves to Jesus and take up our crosses and follow Him.
- Being committed to Jesus means making sacrifices.
- As Jesus’ committed disciples we are called to have a different “flavor” than the rest of the world. We are called to preserve the world from becoming corrupt and spoiling.
- Our commitment to Jesus is always being tested like fire to metal. Live in a way that avoids scandals and stumbling.
