A great question came in asking, “what should change in a person’s life when they make their commitment to Christ?” They mentioned the joy that comes from being a disciple of Christ and yet many seem to accept that a Christian’s duty is just to attend church services and be a nice person. Is there more to our life change than that? Let’s dive into this discussion together, and share with us your thoughts on this subject as well. What would you share with someone who asked this question of you?

Lent is a religious observance of fasting and preparation leading up to Easter. In the churches of Christ, this has not been something we typically make a part of our yearly activities. Why is that the case? Is there something wrong with the concept of or practice of Lent? Dan and Jed will discuss Lent as a season, but also the act of fasting and what the Bible has to say about self-control. Let’s consider how we can work to grow spiritually in our focus on Christ not just in the weeks before Easter but throughout the year.

Starting with a passage from a book Dan and Jed have read, they explore the concept of making doctrines into idols. Is that possible? What would that look like? Using passages from the letters of John, they also explore warnings against leaving behind doctrines in favor of a different gospel.

As always, let us know your thoughts and we can continue this conversation beyond this video.
