Close Enough - Noel Heikkinen

from Riverview Church Message Podcast Hosted by Various Teachers

In this message, Pastor Noel explores the danger of "customized Christianity" and the human tendency to shape Jesus around our personal preferences. Using the account of Paul and Barnabas in Acts 14, he illustrates how the crowds shifted from worshiping the apostles to stoning them once the gospel challenged their cultural idols and demanded true repentance. Noel challenges listeners to consider whether they truly want the real Jesus or simply a version of Him that agrees with their politics, sexuality, and finances.
