Is being a Christian still relevant?
Yes! I want to shout loudly and clearly. Being a Christian is still relevant today. In fact, it’s the only thing that makes sense in this crazy, mixed-up world. Being a Christian (literally means little Christ) helps make sense of the world we live in. The Christian worldview holds that there is brokenness in the world; that wars, disasters, pain, relationship breakdown, are all part of this. It’s not God’s intention, but unfortunately sometimes it is part of living.
And that’s not to say you can’t do anything about it! In fact, we should do something about it. If you are a follower of Jesus, you are called to be God’s ambassadors on this earth. This means to act to restore creation, to act to reduce poverty and to act to restore human dignity.
Our next sermon series in May is on gospel intersections. How does the gospel intersect with situations we find ourselves in 2023? We are going to be looking at issues like Australian culture, disability, education, mental health, ageing and human trafficking. We will be exploring how the Bible interacts with these issues What did Jesus do when he was faced with these or similar situations?
My guess is that we’ll find that the Bible, and Jesus extremely relevant. To be a follower of Jesus is not to stick our head in the sand, but to face adversity with courage, like Jesus did.
If you would like to know what Jesus teaches about these issues come along to one of our services at 10am & 5pm at 8 Schofields Lane, Berry. We’d love to see you there.
