Notes:
POSEUR: A person who acts in a superficial way, while lacking the actual substance. Appearance vs. Actual
Financially – Vocationally – Physically - Morally – Relationally
Settling for the appearance of something without the substance of that thing causes us to miss out
How do we authentically follow Jesus and not settle for the appearance of religion?
Without authenticity we’re less connected to others and to our purpose
How do we authentically follow Jesus and not settle for the appearance of religion?
“Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with too much self-indulgence, drinking and worries of life…”
- Luke 21:34
Brokenness weighs us down and warps our hearts so that we settle for the appearance of religion instead of an authentic relationship
In a broken world where we’re all flawed, having an authentic relationship requires us to fight for it!
Fight for Authenticity:
● Make Time
● Be Connected
● Love Selflessly
Very early the next morning before daylight, Jesus got up and went to a place where he could be alone and pray. But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
- Mark 1:35 & Luke 5:16
Fight for Authenticity:
● Make Time
● Be Connected
● Love Selflessly
Later Jesus took Peter, James and John to the top of a mountain. No one else was there. Suddenly his face began to shine with glory, and his clothing became dazzling white, far more glorious than any earthly process could ever make it!
- Mark 9:2-4
Fight for Authenticity:
● Make Time
● Be Connected
● Love Selflessly
…”I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again. No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again.”
- John 10:17-18
Being in love and being good are drastically different - An authentic relationship with Jesus doesn’t just happen, it’s intentional.
