1.25.26 Pastor Tommy shares this message will reflect on the road to Emmaus, arguing that spiritual stagnation comes from subtly making faith about ourselves rather than Jesus. Using personal stories, Scripture and metaphors of ocean currents and drifting, we will be warned that believers naturally drift away unless they intentionally tether themselves to Jesus, fully surrendering rather than living in a comfortable middle ground between worldly desires and wholehearted devotion. Modern Christianity’s focus on personal fulfillment is subtle. The Christian life is not about achieving one’s dreams but about losing oneself in Christ, whose glory far surpasses human perspective. The message calls listeners to examine whether they have abandoned their “first love,” repent, and actively return to the practices and passion that once marked their faith, emphasizing that true love for Christ should deepen, grow, and move “further” over time, leading to sacrificial living for God and others.To get connected visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.midtownvineyardchurch.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...To Donate ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://midtownvineyard.churchcenter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠....
