Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor\nRomans 1:18-20The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God\u2019s invisible qualities\u2014his eternal power and divine nature\u2014have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.\nMoralistic Therapeutic Deism1. A God exists who created and orders the world and watches over human life on earth.2. God does not need to be particularly involved in one\u2019s life except when God is needed to resolve a problem.3. God wants people to be good, nice, and fair to each other, as taught in the Bible and by most world religions.4. The central goal of life is to be happy and to feel good about oneself.5. Good people go to heaven when they die.\nSmith, Christian - Soul Searching (pp. 162-163). Oxford University Press.\nJohn 5:37-40And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form, nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent. You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.\nHow PERSONAL is your personal relationship with Jesus?\nJohn 10:4-6When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger\u2019s voice.\u201d Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.\nMark 1:14-15After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"\nGalatians 5:25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.\nEphesians 5:15-17Be very careful, then, how you live\u2014not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord\u2019s will is.\nReflection Questions:1. What was one thing from the sermon that caught your attention or stood out to you?2.
