Kicking off this new series with one titled: ‘In Love With God’s Word’, we are led on an exploration of what it truly means to follow Jesus.
The sermon highlights that while all churches share common beliefs – the same leader, the same mission – each church is also unique. It encourages listeners to explore these differences not to compare plus or minus points, but to delve into a deeper understanding of their unique identities in the church body.
Justin goes on to paint a fascinating picture of the diversity that exists within the body of Jesus. He emphasizes that this diversity is not about polarizing the followers into different segments but instead fostering an understanding of the unique history and personality of each church.
Through the voice of Justin, we are extended an inspiring call to follow Jesus in a more meaningful way. Following Jesus, he outlines, is not merely a faith-based affair. It is more about transforming faith into actions, rooting our everyday life decisions in our bond with our Savior.
The sermon goes on to underscore the importance of immersing oneself in the word of God in order to navigate the path to truly following Him. The reader is encouraged to transcend the once-a-week church visit and to instead focus on a continuous, personal journey with the Word of God, and to fall in love with God’s Word.
One of the unique practices of Berean, as highlighted in the sermon, is seen in how the church does not attach the identity of the church to a person. Instead, Berean is powered by the idea of no one singular preacher but ensuring that the focus always remains on Jesus.
In conclusion, the sermon exemplified the call to become more and better followers of Jesus. By doing so, it reiterated the need for believers to prioritise their relationship with Jesus over any denominational identity. The message was overtly clear – it is a call not to wait but to embrace the path of following Jesus right now and to fall in love with God’s Word.
