SERIES: Who Is This Jesus?
MESSAGE: Are You a Follower or a Fake?
SPEAKER: Skip Heitzig
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 7:21-27

MESSAGE SUMMARY
For the last eight weeks, we've considered what makes Christ so unique. Today we briefly consider what makes a true Christian so unique. Not everyone who claims to be a Christian really is one! Some equate Christianity with church attendance, Bible reading and spiritually sounding words like, "Praise God! Hallelujah!" But Jesus Himself sets the record straight. What is a genuine Christian? Let’s let Jesus answer that.

OUTLINE

  1. Making the Right Speech (vv. 21-22)

    1. The Acknowledgment of the Good Lord

    2. The Affirmation of Good Words

    3. The Accomplishment of Good Works

  2. Missing the Right Stuff (v. 23)

    1. The Absence of a Lifestyle

    2. The Absence of a Relationship

  3. Minding the Right Steps (vv. 24-27)

Pondering the Principles:
  1. Look up 2 Corinthians 13: 5: From time-to-time it is good to take inventory of our spiritual lives and test them for authenticity.

  2. Ask a close friend to help in the examination process. Accountability helps promote authenticity and integrity.
