Six Sins Of Suburbia: Consumerism

11/27/22 • 63 min

In this message, pastor Bogdan concludes the sermon series entitled The Six Sins Of Suburbia. God’s people were disobedient to God’s purposes in order to fulfill their own desires. How often do we neglect the things of God in the pursuit of more for ourselves? God has always called his people to live counterculturally when culture is in opposition to his purposes. Like the people of Haggai’s time, we are faced with choices as to whether we put our resources toward his purposes or our own.
Even if you don’t get everything you’ve ever wanted in life (and you won’t), you get God and that is enough. The believer should prioritize generosity over fulfilling their every material desire.

Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

Six Sins Of Suburbia: Convenience

In this message, pastor Bogdan continues the sermon series entitled The Six Sins Of Suburbia. Choosing the path of life means we must be willing to relinquish the default to convenience. Jesus calls his disciples to action, even when the journey is hard. In this text, Jesus describes Two Gates, Two Ways, Two Groups, and Two Destinations. As you listen to this message, think about the following: Are you taking the narrow gate or the wide gate?
Are you taking the natural path or the narrow path? Are you with a group where there are many or few? Where will your final destination be? What is it that makes you so sure of the answers you gave? Will you be among the few or the many? Let Jesus direct you along the narrow way that leads to eternal life!
