Bobby McDonald - A Life Of Ease Is Not The Mountain Top
Speaker: Bobby McDonald Title: A Life Of Ease Is Not The Mountain Top Date: 12-18-2016 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)
Summary
The central message is that true joy and gratitude in Christ come from focusing on what God has already done for us, rather than setting aside His promises for future comforts or ease. The speaker warns against subtle idolatry, such as valuing a 'life of ease' or future security over God's present promises, which is a sin of presumption. Believers must constantly look to the finished work of Christ and God's unchanging love as their source of rest and joy.
