123. Be the Church


Listen Later

Have you ever stopped to think about what it truly means to seek the kingdom first? In a world that cries out for our attention at every turn, we dive headfirst into exploring the meaning of genuine kingdom-seeking. In drawing from the apostles' example, we uncover how they weren't interested in the crowd, they were focused on the kingdom - and in turn, the crowd found them. This deep and thought-provoking discussion is an invitation for us all to be more intentional and proactive about sharing our faith, no matter where we are or who we're with.

Stepping beyond the confines of Sundays, we challenge the notion that Christianity is a once-a-week affair. Every Christian is in full-time ministry, and the danger of becoming passive in our relationship with Jesus is real. We reflect on how our modern church culture can inadvertently turn the gospel into a consumable product rather than an active lifestyle. The apostles didn't just share the gospel; they lived it - and we are called to do the same. This conversation is a gentle but firm call to action, reminding us that evangelism and discipleship should be a daily commitment, not just a Sunday routine.

Finally, we navigate the delicate balance of seeking God's face and hand. Both are integral to our spiritual journey, but the priority has to be seeking His face. We dig into scriptures like 1 Timothy 6:6 and 1 Corinthians 12:31 to better understand this balance. We also acknowledge the pressure to follow God's will and how it can distort our full experience of His grace and love. In discussing this delicate balance, we hope to encourage a shift in perspective - viewing our relationship with Jesus as a desire, not an obligation. So, join us as we journey together in discovering more about our faith and growing closer to Jesus.
