Discipleship: from consumers to Contributors
A Short Summary
In his sermon "From Consumers to Contributors," Pastor Eric Moore emphasizes the vital role of discipleship in advancing the Kingdom of God. He begins with a celebration of the Christian community's bond, then transitions into a beautiful rendition of 'Amazing Grace,' expressing gratitude for God's transformative love. Pastor Moore then acknowledges his family, before diving into a scriptural exploration from the book of Mark 10:45, expounding on the importance of discipleship in the Christian community.
He warns against the church becoming merely a "Sunday Club" if discipleship is absent, and stresses that without it, spiritual growth will stagnate and evangelism will cease. He urges his listeners to shift from a consumer mentality to a contributor mentality, emulating Jesus' selfless example. Using the story of Adam and Eve as an illustration, he highlights how their consumer mentality led to sin and asserts that the same mindset today inhibits spiritual development.
Pastor Moore emphasizes that discipleship is not just a suggestion but a requisite for personal growth and the expansion of God's Kingdom. He concludes by pointing out that discipleship births leaders and encourages his congregation to welcome diversity and teach Kingdom values in practical ways.
