"The Ice Bucket Challenge"

Series: Follow Me Passage: Matthew 5:1–5:4

Why are so many supposed Christians sitting on the sidelines of the church, maybe even involved in the machinery of the church, but not wholeheartedly, passionately, sacrificially, and joyfully giving their lives to making disciples of all the nations? Could it be because so many people in the church have settled for superficial religion instead of supernatural regeneration? David Platt, Follow Me: A Call to Die. A Call to Live.

1. The knowledge of our personal bankruptcy, our crippling deadness, moral uncleanness, and unworthiness are the necessary prerequisites to receive the gift of living under the smiling reign of the King, Matthew 5:3; Romans 3:9-18.

2. Godly sorrow and mourning brings supernatural comfort, Matthew 5:4; 2 Corinthians 7:9-11; James 4:10.
