THE WAY #2 - STOCKI'S SERMON PODCAST

Part 2 of my new series on John Mark Comer's book Practicing The Way sees us still deconstructing our long held ideas on what "The Gospel" and "a Christian" is. 

Our deconstruction does not so much take away from what we believe but to see how much is missing from many of our definitions. 

As Comer writes "“Saying YES to Jesus does not an apprentice make”

We look at how Christian is mentioned 3 times in the New Testament but disciple is mentioned 269 times. When confronted Paul called himself a member of The Way. 

We looked at the following points of Comer's:

• FOR JESUS SALVATION IS LESS ABOUT GETTING INTO HEAVEN AND MORE ABOUT GETTING HEAVEN INTO YOU
• IT’S NOT ABOUT HIM BECOMING LIKE US BUT ALSO ABOUT US BECOMING LIKE HIM
• IT’S LESS OF A TRANSACTION AND MORE OF A TRANSFORMATION
• IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR US BUT ALSO ABOUT WHAT HE HAS DONE, IS DOING, AND WILL DO IN US F WE APPRENTICE WITH HIM
• IT’S ABOUT BEING A PERSON WHO IS NOT ONLY LOVED BY GOD BUT ALSO PERVADED BY THE LOVE OF GOD
• IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT ACCEPTING THE MERIT OF HIS DEATH BUT ALSO RECEIVING THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION
