In this week’s message, Pastor Scott challenges the consumer-driven version of Christianity that has become so common in modern church culture. Attendance at Southridge is growing, lives are being changed, and God is clearly moving — but with momentum often comes fear, doubt, and the temptation to settle for a comfortable faith.
Jesus dealt with the same thing. Crowds flocked to Him as long as He healed, fed, and amazed them… but the moment He raised the bar, many turned back (John 6). They wanted the miracles — not the Messiah. They wanted comfort without sacrifice, blessing without obedience.
Today, nothing has changed.
In 2 Samuel 23 we meet David’s “Three Mighty Men,” warriors whose devotion to their king wasn’t convenient, casual, or half-hearted. Their commitment cost them something — time, safety, comfort, reputation, even their lives. And their example reveals what true discipleship looks like for us today as followers of King Jesus.
