From Church-Minded to Kingdom-Minded Living
This sermon challenges believers to move beyond superficial Christianity and embrace authentic discipleship that produces tangible action. Pastor Chris Pender confronts the church's identity crisis, where believers are "on fire" on Sundays but become "mere mortals" during the week. Drawing from Jesus' greatest commandments, the message emphasizes that genuine love for God must result in loving our neighbors and actively serving the kingdom. The sermon distinguishes between being "church-minded" (focused on individual congregations and traditions) versus "kingdom-minded" (focused on advancing God's kingdom everywhere). Believers are called to examine whether they truly know their purpose, are using their gifts, and are making a real impact in their communities—particularly in schools and among young people who are searching for authentic relationships and truth.
