The new alternative lifestyle: Christlikeness (Sermon)
by Westminster
When someone uses the phrase “alternative lifestyles,” what comes to mind?
Perhaps rejecting family life, a certain kind of nomadism, embracing sexual promiscuity, creating a belief system out of a mishmash of ideas, or something else “unconventional”?
But as more and more of these things become accepted and adopted, perhaps there is a new kind of alternative lifestyle: Christlikeness.
This isn’t just for kicks. Clearly, things need to change in the world. They need to be different. Christ invites us to participate in his renovating work. “On earth as it is in heaven.”
But we can’t expect the world to be different if we’re the same.
This sermon on Mark 10:1-45 unpacks the text to discover a series of invitations—these are ways to live which are higher and more beautiful than what our broken world has to offer. But if we don’t pay attention, and if we don’t cooperate with God, it’s easy to calibrate to culture instead of Christ.
What if Christlikeness was the new alternative lifestyle?
