17_0108: Christ-followers cultivate a life of full devotion to Jesus because He loves us. Life gets bombarded by constant demands for our attention and love. We must understand what devotion means and how we live it out. Pastor Lane looks at the earliest snapshot of the church from Acts 2:42 to present two stages of cultivating a life of full devotion. Stage one begins with understanding all that devotion means, love in action. Stage two identifies four essential practices through which our devotion gets expressed. These two stages center life on Jesus, who alone is worthy of our full devotion. Whatever holds your devotion holds you. For the Christian, half-hearted devotion to Jesus is idolatry. Christians can endure in full devotion to Jesus because He endured the cross to save us. May this message help and encourage you in this new year.
