The Church the Consumer Ate

In our society, church is an accessory, not an essential, and we think this is normal.

Luke 14:16-23

Big Idea: What does God require from us to have his desire for a full house church?

God romances people into His will. Where God is romancing, the kingdom has come.

1. Plan your life around the romance and serving the romance.
*We are the church the consumer ate.
Mantra #1: Church is here to support my pursuit of happiness
Mantra #2: Someone should help me.
Mantra #3: We should pay someone to help me
*We are a volunteer movement and Jesus was the first volunteer.

2. Fill the house with people not like you.

3. Make yourself uncomfortable to fill God's house.

The story says build your whole life around the romance.
