Jesus said: “Not everyone who says to me ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven,” (Matthew 7:21)

Is it really possible to go through your entire life believing you’re a Christian, only to find out when it’s too late that you were wrong? Jesus seems to be warning exactly that.

As critical theory continues to march through Western culture, Christians must face hard choices between conformity to the world and conformity to Christ. But to what extent? How much does Jesus ask of us to follow him? With cultural conflicts all around us, how can we tell if we’re really and truly on the side of Jesus?

Do you know what it truly means to be a Christian? Are you certain that you really are Jesus’ disciple? The stakes are too high to ignore such a critical question!

Join Scott and Shawn as they examine the life and teaching of Jesus to understand the true cost and marks of being a disciple. Learn from Jesus himself what it means to call him “Lord”, and truly belong to him.
