Committed Followers of Christ (“The Challenge” Week 3 of 4)

It is our hope you are listening to Week 3 of The Challenge series because you have accepted “the challenge” and have committed yourself to the spiritual growth opportunity it affords. If you missed Week 1 or 2, we encourage you to take the time to watch it; visit https://lotwchurch.org/challenge for the full series and the downloadable workbook.

Last week, we looked at spiritual laziness, a tendency that stymies our spiritual development, and hopefully, you have identified your weak areas and made a commitment to no longer allow it in your life. So this week, having agreed you are “all in,” we are going to look at what it means to be a committed follower of Christ. The first question to ask is, where’s the fruit? The Bible says that if we are in Christ, in other words, fully committed to following Him, we will bear spiritual fruit. The amount of fruit we bear is directly related to how committed we are to following Him. It also tells us we can’t bear fruit on our own. So the challenge in this message is to ask yourself, are you serving Him with all you have? Or serving Him with what’s left over, or even not at all? There are also deeper insights Pastor Greg includes that will help give you a clearer understanding of where you stand to enable you to make changes to kick your spiritual growth into a higher gear!
