Join us as we unpack the powerful "Stack" series from Collective Community Church and Pastor Damon Davis! This series isn't just about getting saved; it's a blueprint for discipleship, focusing on what happens after you're set free. Forget the idea of just being a "churchgoer" – a concept created by Western Christianity that doesn't exist in the Bible. The true call is to be a disciple, someone who has given their life and is prepared for the coming of the Lord. The "Stack" series reveals that being a disciple means building your spiritual life layer upon layer, like stacking bricks or building a skyscraper. It's about God starting a good work in you and His desire to complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. This isn't a self-paced journey; God has a pace and a strategy for your progress. While you are a "work in progress," that term shouldn't be an excuse for a lack of effort or slow progress. We dive into what it truly means to follow Jesus. It's not just saying you follow Him, but actually doing what He says. This requires counting the cost and being willing to give up everything – your desires, ambitions, habits, activities, and philosophies – to be replaced by His ways. Following His voice means hearing and recognizing truth, even when that truth is uncomfortable because it exposes the lies we've been living. Discipleship is like sparring – it's challenging, sometimes painful, but it prepares you for the real fight and helps you win the battles in your life. It involves digging deep and laying your foundation on the rock, not just building on the surface with intellectual knowledge. This deep work means letting God put His shovel into your heart and address the core issues. While building high quickly might draw attention, the lasting structure comes from digging deep and taking the necessary steps. A key lesson is the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing faith in God. You cannot follow Jesus and yourself at the same time. True promotion and increase come from God, not the world.
