Are You ‘Sort of’ Christian? Moving Beyond a Lukewarm Faith
Pastor Ken Curtis kicks off a new worship series, exploring what it means to be “sort of Christian” — having enough faith to feel good but not enough to make a difference in our lives. Through personal anecdotes and scripture, we learn how to move beyond a lukewarm faith to a life that requires daily acts of faith. Learn how to recognize spiritual complacency and discover a simple, transformative challenge that can revitalize your relationship with God.
Sermon Reflections:
- When have you found yourself being “sort of Christian” — having enough faith to feel good but not enough to make a real difference in your daily life?
- We often rationalize our sins or only turn to God when we need something. Which of these tendencies do you struggle with most, and why?
- Jesus’ correction comes from love, not to make us feel guilty. How does this perspective change your view of challenging scripture passages?
- What would “doing something that requires faith every day” look like in your specific life circumstances right now?
- How might your relationships with others change if you moved from being “lukewarm” to being “hot” in your faith?
- When we live by faith, we become less concerned with what others think and more focused on what God thinks. In what area of your life do you most need this shift in perspective?
