Be Christian: We Should Not Make It Difficult - August 11th, 2024

We're diving deeper into our "Be Christian" series by exploring the powerful story of the early church-a time when being a follower of Christ was not only counter-cultural but life-threatening. We'll take a closer look at the unwavering faith of the early believers, who, despite persecution, spread the gospel with boldness and conviction. This week, we focus on the dramatic conversion of Saul to Paul, a man once determined to destroy the church, who became one of its greatest champions. We'll also examine the challenges the early church faced as it expanded, especially the controversy surrounding the inclusion of Gentiles. As we reflect on these stories, we'll confront a critical question: Are we as a church making it easy or difficult for people to find Jesus? Join us as we seek to understand what it truly means to "Be Christian" today.
