Sermon that I listened to today and really loved. So cut & dry but so challenging to live out in each moment. I desire to be a sacrificial follower.
This is the life Jesus has called us to:
Essential marks of a sacrificial follower...no being super spiritual or steps to a better you. It's maturity & growth in Christ. Some Christians don't act their age.

#1. Love for the Bible...because it tells us more about Jesus :) The final authority in all things.
#2. Prayerfulness...choosing prayer over worry.
#3. Being aggressively teachable.
#4. Appropriately transparent
#5. Promotes community
#6. A lifestyle of worship...not just singing, involves EVERYTHING.
#7. Financial generosity...10% of the bible is about money. It shows us our priorities. How we give will show how we feel about God.
#8. Being a witness...loving God & LOVING OTHERS. It's not about you. Lively outwardly.

I love Riverview. Such a real church that proclaims the real truth.

I hope all of you are seeking to be a part of a place that encourages you and urges you to this kind of living.

Amen?!
