In this sermon, Dr. Michael Easley explores the extremes of Christian spiritual life: striving through discipline versus letting go entirely, often falling into functional deism or mystical experiences. He reflects on how people swing between controlling every aspect of their faith to completely giving up, and challenges whether the spiritual life is really about finding balance between these extremes.
The sermon culminates in Jesus’ invitation: “Come have breakfast.” He emphasizes the warmth and humanity of this moment—Jesus, resurrected and divine, shares a simple meal with his friends. It's a poignant reminder that amidst confusion or failure, Christ meets us where we are—with grace, restoration, and fellowship. Dr. Easley ultimately encourages believers to return to Scripture and relationship with Jesus, rather than chasing control or mystical experiences.
