Developing A Relationship With Jesus - Revision, Part 2

40 minutes

When you don’t practice the presence of God, you become dull to His presence.

In ”Developing A Relationship With Jesus,” Pastor Jeremy Gorham from Crosstown Alliance Church details the second part of Crosstown’s DNA, Develop; to lead people to discover, develop, and display full devotion to Jesus Christ. We want you to develop meaningful relationships while growing towards Christ-like maturity.

Scripture in this sermon: Colossians 1:9-12, Acts 1:8

10 Warning Signs that keep you from developing Christ-like faith:

Lake of community (join a small group)

Lack of accountability (meet with a trusted friend)

Lack of content (learn to say ‘no’)

Lack of generosity (start w9th the tithe)

Lack of forgiveness (forgiven people forgive)

Allow culture to define sexuality (cut yourself off from this influence)

Approach Scripture as a suggested (Goodness not good advice)

Follow feelings over Scripture (’I think’ vs. ‘God’s Word says’)

Too busy/always stressed (trying to fit God into your life vs. God being your life)

It’s always someone else’s fault (the blame game vs. eating some humble pie)
