No Religious Expectations

January 28, 2014 by Brad Murphy Leave a Comment

This entry is part 3 of 4 in the series Foc|US: Vision for Life

Light the Way.

God has given us a vision to build a community of faith, who follow Jesus and tend to the mission of God: Light the Way, Learn the Truth, Love the Life.

This week Pastor John, asks is the church a Country Club or Hospital.  As he teaches from Luke 6, we uncover one of Jesus stiffest enemies, RELIGION.  As a church family, one of our values is to eliminate religious expectations and encourage grace in Jesus Christ.

No Religious Expectations

  • The title, “Christian,” has come to describe either a religion or a product, that marketing executives are trying to sell.  Christ did not come to start a religion or a business.  Therefore, Eagle LifeChurch is not marketing a religion.   Our goal is to shine the spotlight on Jesus Christ, who initiated a relational, incarnation, movement of grace and servant love.
  • Study it! Matthew 23; Mark 7:1-23; Mark 12:38-20 & Luke 20:45-47; Matthew 6:1-18; Hebrews 4:14-5:1
