We live in a world that rewards performance. It’s ingrained in us from an early age. Tests, sports, education, manners; almost everything. And this performance-based mindset affects our view of and relationship to God. We can believe we must perform to certain standards to be in right relationship with God. We feel that when we do the right thing, God turns his chair toward us. We feel that when we do the wrong thing, He turns His is back on us. As such, we begin creating religious performance-based rules for ourselves and then live by them, in bondage. But Jesus didn’t come to start a religion. He came to restore a relationship.
Our body, Relevant Community Church, needs everybody to take extreme ownership of growing in our relationship with Jesus, in order for us to live...
Your words have the power to build or destroy.
To create a church you love, you must be connected in a healthy and transformational smaller community of people within the church.
