AWAKENING SERIES January 17-February 28
"To just read the Bible, attend church, and avoid "big" sins--is this passionate, wholehearted love for God?" - Francois Fenelon.
A lot of people live this way and label themselves Christian. But is this Christian? Are there different levels of Christian? This series will explain that Christianity is not a part of your life, but it is your life. There's no such thing as a fully-devoted follower of Christ, you are either a follower or not. There's no middle ground. Would you describe yourself as totally devoted to Jesus Christ? Or do the words lukewarm, halfhearted, and partially committed fit better?

1/24 - A Lukewarm Person is UNCOMMITTED

2/7 - A Lukewarm Person is COMFORTABLE & SATISFIED
