1. Living the Gospel

3. Importance of Living the Gospel “ Growing as a Christian really means learning to apply the fact of the gospel to every aspect of our thinking and doing.” Graeme Goldsworthy

9. Why Don’t Christians Live the Gospel?

10. Not Really Christian

12. No Fruit of Repentance

14. Works Reveal To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work. Titus 1:15-16

15. Settle for Religion

16. Instead of the Cross

17. How can you know? If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him. 1 John 2:29

18. Busyness

19. Worldliness

20. The Reason Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. Luke 8:14

21. Unbelief

22. Unbelief See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness. Hebrews 3:12-13

23. What is the fruit of unbelief?

24. Idolatry

25. Disobedience

26. Idolatry Idolatry is worshipping the created instead of the creator. Idolatry is seeking meaning, purpose and life in something other than God. Idolatry is loving someone or something more than God.

27. Idols Our idols are what we build our identities on other than God. Our idols are anything that become the controlling center of our life, and take priority over all other loyalties. Our idols are whatever we believe that we cannot live without.

28. Idols Idols are what we are most passionate about and what we long for more than God. Our idols are the people, things and ideas we treasure and cherish more than God. Idols are those persons or things we use to seek satisfaction and happiness instead of seeking them from God.

29. Idolatry Idolatry is looking to a false savior to get you out of a false hell and into a false heaven.
