A Cross-Shaped Life: 2nd Corinthians 6:14-7:1

Rev. James Harper preaches on 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1 as part of our sermon series, "A Cross-Shaped Life." Living as Christians in a post-Christian society requires careful navigation between engagement and compromise. Paul's instruction about being unequally yoked isn't about avoiding all relationships with non-believers, but about ensuring the flow of influence moves toward Christ rather than away from Him. We must evaluate our relationships and commitments honestly, asking whether they draw us closer to God or pull us away from our faith. While maintaining our Christian identity, we're called to be ambassadors for Christ, building authentic relationships with those far from God. The BLESS method provides a practical framework: Be in prayer, Listen authentically, create shared Experiences, Serve others' needs, and Share your faith story.
