Description

Send us Fan MailWhat if the version of Jesus we’ve been following…is the version that costs us the least?What if we’ve gotten so comfortable, so certain, so in control…that we literally can’t see the parts of Jesus that challenge us anymore?In this message, Dan Minor takes aim at a hard truth:the Church didn’t lose the Bible—we lost the lens to read it.From the Beatitudes to the rich young ruler, from refugee camps to American Christianity, this sermon pulls no punches:Why “blessed are the poor” doesn’t work from the topHow certainty can replace truth and control can replace faithWhy the biggest barrier to following Jesus might be… what you’re not willing to loseAnd the one question Jesus keeps asking that we keep avoiding:Who is this not working for?This isn’t safe.It’s not polished.And it’s definitely not comfortable.But it might be the clearest invitation you’ve heard in a long timeto actually follow Jesus.
