Settling with Jesus: Community, Commitment, and the Church


Listen Later

This sermon explores the concept of "settling with Jesus," emphasizing the importance of Christian community alongside individual faith. The speaker argues that many Christians, particularly younger generations, believe in Jesus but avoid church involvement. Statistics reveal a decline in weekly Christian church attendance in America, while other religions show an increase. The speaker attributes this to modernism/post-modernism, negative church experiences, and a desire for genuine relationships, which contribute to a sense of self reliance.
