•
New Hope Community Church, Robbie Lankford
“Christian? What it means to be a follower of Jesus”
The word is used by a lot of people, but what does it mean to be a Christian? Join us as we study God’s Word to find the answers to this question.
Christian? - “When You Keep Coming Back”
1 Peter 1:3-5
Romans 8:38-39
Philippians 1:6
John 10:27-30
1 John 5:13
#1. Some “believers” are short-lived.
Matthew 13:20-21
#2. There are many seasons to life.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Psalm 37:25a
#3. A true believer keeps coming back.
Hebrews 10:39a
Mark 14:71-72
Steps to follow when coming back to God:
- rejoice that you keep coming back
- figure out how to keep that from happening again
- make the times you stray shorter (with God’s help)
- get involved in serving others
I John 2:19
What’s the “Big Idea” today? A true Christian continues to be drawn back to God.
