I Became a Christian…Now What?

Introduction

guy at chic fil a in wake forest

what expectation of the christian life would i have had if i would have prayed the prayer on the back of the gospel tract that guy at chic fil a gave me

would i have just tried any church regardless of what they believed and taught bc i wouldn’t know any better

would he teach me? how would i know if he was legit or not he was already off to a bad start being a creep at a chic fil a

what gospel did you believe (a get out of hell free card jesus or an all about you jesus as a vending machine requires nothing of you it is cheap grace

The danger and damage of unmet expectations

Never move on from the gospel

The “gospel” isn’t everything

Understand what the bible is, how its one big story, what the story is about and how to read it

the bible as the story of reality

The bible as a comprehensive whole epic

ALL of the the bible is about jesus - learn how to look for him

Learn who you are long before you beging to try and “DO”

Paul always spends chapters on identity before he gets into ethics

just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord so walk in Him

take up your cross and deny yourself

purpose of the church find one and immerse yourself in it
