That’s Not My Jesus Main idea: We must follow the Jesus that is revealed through Scripture. Jesus gives us what we need (Matt. 6:31-33). Fallacy: “My Jesus gives me everything that I want.” Jesus expects us to turn from sin and grow spiritually (Matt. 15:48). Fallacy: “My Jesus loves me just the way I am.” Jesus recognized and called out sin (John 8:2–11). Fallacy: “My Jesus doesn’t judge and loves no matter what.” Jesus rebuked respectfully and displayed righteous anger (John 2:13-16, 4:16-18). Fallacy: “My Jesus turns over tables.” Jesus was more than human (Matt. 16:13-16; Phil. 2:5–11). Fallacy: “My Jesus is the symbol of a humanitarian.”____________________________To Respond: http://www.fbcbellechasse.com/respond.html To Connect: https://www.fbcbellechasse.com/connect-with-us.html To Give: http://www.fbcbellechasse.com/give.html©First Baptist Church of Belle ChasseFor more information about our church, visit fbcbellechasse.com.To Respond: http://www.fbcbellechasse.com/respond To Connect: https://www.fbcbellechasse.com/connect To Give: http://www.fbcbellechasse.com/give
