Jesus Discipler (Part 2)
Summary
In his recent sermon titled "Closing the GAP between Church & Culture," pastor John Blue emphasized the crucial role of individual Christians in bridging the gap between church teachings and modern culture. Honoring Memorial Day, he stressed the importance of remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. He then delved into the vital task of discipleship in Christianity, presenting it as a mandate rather than a mere suggestion, in accordance with the teachings of Jesus and the Bible.
Drawing on the imagery of a city's breached wall from the book of Ezekiel, John called on his congregants to stand in the 'gap' for their marriages, families, and nation, upholding godly principles against a tide of cultural opposition. He urged his listeners to consider their potential impact, reminding them that just one person can make a significant difference in society.
He also highlighted the costliness of discipleship, stressing that following Jesus requires a total commitment of life. To change the culture, John urged individuals to become active in discipling others. The sermon concluded with a call to find 'the one' person they can invest their lives into and a communal observance of communion, symbolizing the sacrifice of Jesus for the world.
