Blind to Change - 1 Peter 2 - Church 3.0 - Brent Phillips - Encounter Houston

We have all had the thought of changing. But the results of those thoughts often end with no change. Why is that? As Christians, we know that change needs to happen in our lives and in our churches. Why doesn’t it? Could it be because we don’t know why we are to change or how we are to change?

As a Christian our reason behind changing should always be to look more like Christ than we did yesterday.

Change isn’t easy. A matter of fact, it is often more difficult than easy. At times it can even be scary. But we can no longer accept what is broken as normal. Either way, change must happen and we must know that we will change no matter what.

How will we change? We have the Most High God living inside of strengthening us, encouraging us, and guiding us every step of the way in our change. He will not fail us.

God has called us to go from glory to glory. He wants to make a difference through you. We can’t get stuck in a moment of glory. He wants to build upon the revelation that He has given you. We must ask ourselves the question; “Am I really making a difference?”

70-90% of Christians will go to their grave having never shared the gospel with anyone.

1 Peter 2:9 "But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light."

We can no longer sit in church or a bible study and receive a message and do absolutely nothing with it. Our decision in Christ is personal but our faith was never to be personal. Our faith was to be lived out. It is living by faith that we become the light of the world.

It is time that we had church be all that God intended for it to be!
